I im...Very interesting, I love this sort of stuff. I imagine it's quite a lot like the Russian model (as you say) where you have Lieutenants and Captains taking PT and drill lessons because they're the only ones who can be trusted. NCOs just have slightly longer beards than the rank and file.<br /><br />Even more interesting is the German model, not used so much today but still engrained in their military culture whereby there are three career streams. Start out as a private and end up as a senior private (even after 20 years); start as a corporal and end as a staff sergeant; or start as a lieutenant and (potentially) finish as a general. No swapping between the streams allowed. Might possibly filter in to a bit of DKoK fluff...<br /><br />I particularly like this 'retrospective justification' when we flesh out some detail for the Cadians which might explain why they are the STC for IG around the galaxy.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.com
