I hate the Latin ranks ... I didn't serve in an ancient military organization ... I served in the modern military.
Cutesy ranks are diddlysquat.

If you don't behave now then I'll translate all of the forum to latin only!!

The Roman ranks are just temporary until I can come up with something better (shouldn't be too hard...), and country neutral.


I do not want to use current military ranks since we have members from all branches, and many members who haven't served at all.

Ya almost have to admit that is a fairly good reason though. Not to mention the fact it also serves as a history lesson for those with that particular interest.

Thank the lord and pass the ammunition ... I thought I was gonna haft be known as a Primus whazahosis forever ...

Why don't you come up with a system that allows the individuals to put whatever rank they want ... after all ... the ranking system doesn't really indicate squat as far as I can see .....


UNLESS I AM MISSING SOMETHING???
