Post; Ranking System


I would rather remain an NCO than be an Officer. Why does the ranking system stop at a Sergeant E-5 and not continue through Staff Sergeant E-6, Sergeant First Class E-7, Master Sergeant/First Sergeant E-8, Staff Sergeant Major E9, Command Sergeant Major E9 and allow the Moderators to hold the positions of Officers.

Thanks
SFC

Makes it easier that way, or Redled the almighty Admin of them all wanted it the way it is. We may never know.

I was always a bit curious on that subject, too. Never enough to ask though.

The simple reason is that those NCO ranks are US only, and as the title of this forum says this is an International forum.

So I've used the "standard" ranks up to general, since most countries uses them. (at least the names)

The rank system may be "upgraded" a bit soon.

Cooooool. Maybe we can have a Sergeant Major! I think it's a pretty common rank(in its various forms) among our militaries.

I don't think I'll add sgtmaj, but only use the "plain" sergeant rank.

One plan I have is to use rank images from different countries, but the only "problem" I have now is to choose what countries to use, and who's going to be at the top and bottom of the rank system..

I have rank images from several different countries, but as I said, the problem is to decide who's going to be at the top of the rank system, and who will be at the bottom...

That's a tough call, How many countries will be represented?
