I plan on joining in after the mission is over, i have to read over the whole story to catch up, That is, If it's okay with You Ubermensch.

You sure you don't want to pop in? The reason why I'm asking is because the promotions in the RP are akin to leveling up. Also, the rankings are:

Rank 0 - Rookie
Rank 1 - Squaddie 
Rank 2 - Corporal 
Rank 3 - Sergeant 
Rank 4 - Lieutenant 
Rank 5 - Captain 
Rank 6 - Major 
Rank 7 - Colonel 

Promotions will increase chances of survival. Also, I can succinctly summarize the plot in a PM if needed.
