  Rear admiral - Memory Alpha
Rear admiral is a flag officer rank used by naval organizations, traditionally between the grades of commodore and vice admiral.
In the Earth organization, rear admirals (such as Daniel Leonard) were denoted by two rank insignia enclosed in a rectangular frame, worn on both sides of a uniform jacket.
In the subsequent Federation fleets, rear admirals (such as James Kirk) were again denoted by sleeve stripes, this time signified by a similar insignia, one solid band of braid, and an additional stripe separate.

 Navy - Rear Admiral (Upper Half) (U.S.)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
For example, the senior rear admiral present at Pearl Harbor would fly two white stars on a blue flag and rear admirals embarked on other ships two stars on a red flag.
That way you could tell the difference between a boat carrying a Marine major general and one carrying a non-senior rear admiral.
Confusion would not have arisen regarding the one-star rank, since all rear admirals back then had two stars and there were no commodores in peacetime (commodores would in any case have displayed a broad pennant and not a rectangular flag).

AJ would have become a one-star Admiral (Rear Admiral Lower Half) most likely upon becoming head of JAG in the Pacific, and a two-star Admiral upon becoming the JAG, which we know took place in early 1996.
