[Fatatatutti]

Is there a system in play in your nations armed forces that denotes juniors from seniors?

No. Rank is determined strictly by merit.

New volunteers are called Recruit until they pass basic training, after which they are called Private. Those who are offered a position in the regular Army may be designated as Lance Corporal if they show any leadership potential. Lance Corporals inevitably become Corporals and Corporals become Sergeants as those positions become available.

Sergeant is a logical stopping place for those whose abilities and preferences lean toward face-to-face leadership of small units. Those with the aptitude for more abstract control of larger groups are sent to Officer Candidate School. Officers may progress from Lieutenant to Captain to Major to Colonel, depending on how long they stay in the Army.

Colonel is also a logical stopping place, since a regimental commander is essentially "king" while a General officer is more like the chairman of a committee of colonels under him/her.

If only it really worked that way and we had Officers smarter than an high school drop out.. I end up doing most of the work of equalize to a Captain at WO-3.
