"Moodie..... "
Her boss was Major Beaver, who, upon introducing herself as she climbed into the seat next to me in the sim, added, "...and, no, I'm not going to prove it."

She's seen my pic and says I ain't it, either, so that cinches it...
Htom - using sekrit resources, your scenario is possible. There are some soldiers with the surname in question.
Cheers
If I were much younger and in a perverse mood, I might consider changing my surname to Breakthrough, seeking a commission and dedicating my efforts to achieving the rank of Major.
I think of the possible variations of "Who's on first" for nametags, and I giggle like a lunatic, I tell you.
Ones I've actually known:
1. Captain Kirk: he was really glad to make Major so that his peers, superiors and subordinates all finally quit asking him to beam them up. Not to mention, every time he asked what was wrong with a broke jet, someone would invaribly say that the dilithium crystals were breaking down...
2. Worked with a guy named Stane who had been in t he Ausie Navy: he was really glad to make petty officer... you'll figure it out.
3. Trained a guy named Airman Newbie.
4. I have known a Sergeant Major Sergeant and a Sergeant Major Major (try saying that 10 times fast).
Made it interesting during the days when we weren't allowed to sew our rank on our flight suits -- I'd introduce us to Visitors Of Rank as "I'm Bill Tuttle and this is Major Weber." I'd watch as they all zeroed in on him as the (assumed) PIC, then we'd start the fun: "I'll get the weather briefing, Maje -- you go do the preflight." "Okay, Bill -- I'll grab your gear from your locker and bring it out, too."
Stunned looks and fun times...
JTG - I know somebody would get it in this crowd!
Private Pinhead: Sir! I have the final report on our latest R.A.G project (Really Aggressive Girls)... there's good news and ... *gulp* bad news though.
General Tool: What is the good news, Private?
Private Pinhead: Well, it seems our small ops team was able to wipe out over 10,000 taliban in less than 72 hours.
General Tool:That's outstanding! What could possibly be bad after that!?!?
Private Pinhead: Well, it seems that they're really only effective for 3-4 days a month, and it's costing us a fortune in spa time and chocolates immediately afterwards.
