I don't know. I can't claim to be an expert. The most military thing about
me is my athlete's foot [to borrow a quote from Mash [IIRC]] and I don't
have it, so...
I always figured that you either started at the bottom, or you started as a
commisioned officer, and that was it.
Course, I could be wrong. Most of the stuff I've read [Microprose manuals,
mainly, for things like Tank Platoon and Gunship...]
Now there's a thought. Some branches might require a higher starting rank.
Is that right?
