In the James Skiver obit (farthest one on the right), one of the pallbearers, and his son, is T/Sgt Tom Skiver. The instruction for the Prefix says "Do not index terms such as "Reverend" or "Pastor" in this field." Would this rule apply to a military prefix, such as the aforementioned Technical Sergeant?

    I would not index any Titles in this project, except Mr, Mrs, Miss, Master. Since the field help is precise not to index the titles of Reverend or Pastor, I'm going to guess that military titles aren't acceptable either.
