You can only have one military great leader at a time.
You can have a MGL and a SGL at the same time.
You can have multiple SGL at the same time. ( Just don't count on it, chance for a SGL are 3% for most civs, 5% for scientific civs)

Got to rush US,ToE, and HD.

That's great for you
But don't be surprised if next game you don't get any
Of course if you're playing on the lower diffculty settings, chances are you'll get a lot more due to the fact you're always be the first one to discover new techs.

Yeah, this was my first game in 3 playing conquests that I've finally gotten some SGLs ( my previous two were as the germans)
I was playing regent ( using sumerians for the first time), but it was such an easy game that I think I'm gonna try and step up to monarch

Probably a good idea, you'll see that as you move in difficulty the game really becomes a lot more fun.

I generally get 2 SGLs per game, and GLs I don't really keep track of. I generally do not attack until the Modern Era, but I am finding Industrial Era wars fun also . . .
I was playing "Fall of Rome" as the Visigoths (cheiftain level) and kept getting Military Great Leaders (I had lots of elite Warlords running around). I made the first two leaders into armies, but didn't have enough cities to use the third one for an army. I fortified it in my capital, intending to use it later, and then another elite unit won a victory, and another Military Great Leader showed up! I thought it was impossible to have two at the same time, but it certainly happened (two armies, plus two unused military leaders).

Do you have a save game? I know you can only have one military leader at a time so this may be a bug. Or maybe one of your leaders is actually a scientific leader. The only way to find out is if you can post a save or screen shot.

Actually a few players have reported having several SGL at the same time. Someone even got 2 in the same turn. Of course the odd of that happening are just plain awful, but it is possible.
I had 2 SGLs as well, like 2 times in my last 6 games
The first time, I got 2 in a turn and in my current game I got them like 20+ turns apart.
I think I also had 2 MGL before in a game quite some time ago, but not 100% sure on this one.

I'm playing the Rise of Rome conquest scenario right now and have three active MGLs. All have been converted to armies and I am in the process of just tromping all over Carthage. Using the 1.13 patch on Regent level.
I have a quick look for a saved game last night, I'll look a bit harder today. I know that none of the leaders was a scientific leader, because I tried to use each one to rush a great wonder, and couldn't do it. They also all appeared at the scene of a combat, and not in the capital.
I wondered if there had been a change to Great Military leaders now, a change made since they stopped being able to rush Great Wonders. Maybe now it is possible to get more than one at a time?

I'm going to stick with my guns that you can only have one MGL at the time. For a complete explanation check out SirPleb's article on leaders in the War Academy.

However, the French in the Napoleon scenario start with 2 MGLs, Davout and Napoleon. I'm guessing the only way to have several is to create a scenario. According to my experience and the article, its impossible to have 2 at a time in the Epic game.

Not that I want to join in the discussion (I haven't played Conquest yet as I'm still finishing a huge old PTW game), but the article you're referring to is dated 10/5/03, so pre-C3C. It's not usefull for the discussion.
I want to see some screenshots too. That would settle the discussion (if it isn't a bug).

You mean you have 3 armies and no MGLs? Once you convert a MGL to an army, you don't have a MGL anymore.
