Literal translations can be confusing at times. While pod is in most  slavic languages by itself best translated as "under", when translating military ranks it is best to use the English equivalent ranks, if one really exists. For colorel and above, the pod prefix inidicates "lieutenant" not under. At company grade and warrant officer level the pod prefix is best translated as "junior". At this level there is also the prefix nad, meaning  "over" and is best translated as "senior".
