Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

<Snipped quote by LightningLynx89>

I remain to say that the way the American Military handles Commissioned Officer ranks, or the equivalent, in the most odd ways that I am against, but if it is possible then I guess it is possible.

@LetMeDoStuff

Well Lieutenant Colonels all vary in the amount of soldiers they command. Like they can command as little as 200 soldiers to 800 at most. The more experienced ones obviously command the larger groups. Plus even Lieutenant Colonels have multiple ranks, depending on how large the Battalion is. And the system works.

@LightningLynx89Question of a lot of interest...How did he reach the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with three to four years of service? That's quite a leap I'm not sure the Americans do?

@LetMeDoStuff

Lieutenant Colonel in the US military is like the middle point of the hierarchy of command. And it's not that rare for people so young to become that rank at so long, I have a cousin who is a Lieutenant Colonel and he's only a year older than O'Ryan would be. And I know a close friend's father who was a Lieutenant Colonel during the Gulf War at the age of 22. So it really dependent on skill and leadership ability.

On the other side of the state however, in a different city. A young blonde man was currently in the midst of his shift, his mind racked and wrapped around what was going on. But, right now his main focus was to get through his shift before continuing on. He was currently in his office, one of few rare times he ever was during the day. He never could stand them, he felt so secluded from the others and felt like he wasn't helping his employees do their work. But, they were an understanding bunch and all knew that paper work had to be done for where they work to get anything pushed through or approved. They were nearing the end of their orders, a few retail stores and a mass production plant were left with products and supplies that needed to be shipped. All he had to do now was punch their numbers, inventory amount, and destinations into the company's computer system and he could go on out to work alongside his men.

There was one continuous thing that plagued his mind that he was not able to figure out what had happened to Gavin. He had just randomly up and disappeared two weeks ago. He had try calling over and over again, and even went to his parents and other friends to try and find out where he had gone. All efforts ended up with no results. He didn't believe that Gavin would've gone to England for University without at least telling him about it. He even asked around the university, and all accounts were he didn't inform them until a few days before he vanished. He was going to go another search as soon as he got off work, and luckily the weekend was the next day, so that would give him more time to search. As he exhaled and finished up his typing he hit entered and put on his necessary equipment before heading out back onto the floor to help finish up the orders.

He had to look outside the city he guessed, he had to find Gavin.
