Ah. But wait…in a fleet, you have an amount of basic roles:
•Leadership
•Pilot
•Starfighter (Depends on nature of ship)
•Engineer
•Gunner
•Misc. Staff
 -•Galley chef
 -•Janitor
 -•Of those lines
Perhaps we have different versions of Admiral:
I mean the guy who shouts 'Fire the cannons at coordinates 201x503y-z!' 'All hands to the central turrets' 'Mayday Mayday! Command, we are in one hell of a –(static)'
You may have been thinking:
'Sir, we lost Alpha squad.'
'Dammit. I am going to go drink for a few hours on the admiral's deck. Commission 5 more.'

So more of a ship's captain then? An admiral implies the leader of a fleet, which would put you in command of a whole force, surely? Unless the title was more ceremonial. In any case, putting your character that high up on the food chain kinda steps away from the RP's premise, whereby we're supposed to be special forces members, not commanders. 

If you REALLY want to command some NPCs, maybe ask the GM kindly to be a squad leader, or the captain of the ship that ferries the players. Of course it's up to him what he wants, it's his RP and I'll back him up with what he goes with because so far this is awesome. 

That's my two cents of the subject anyhows.
