I'm mainly going by the British rank system because its what I have most experience of, so Lance Cap is the first proper promotion a soldier gets and PFC is, as you said a seniority thing (even though it is extremely American). However, the Militia was only called up about three weeks ago IC and the majority of conscripts wouldn't have enough experience to be automatically bumped up a pay grade. Considering we already have 5 PFCs to 4 Privates, I won't be accepting any more characters that start above the rank of Private. Promotions may come later, if/when the character earns them.

See, I'm familiar with the US Army ranking system, which goes Private E-1, or a fuzzy cause they don't have a rank patch, Private E-2, first rank patch, PFC, Specialist, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant First Class, Sergeant Major, First Sergeant and then we get into the Officer ranks. I'm pretty sure I'm accurate, but I might have flip flopped a couple of them in the NCO level.
