Ey lad, since you'd be at least not completely newbie do you want to work out some common history? Also we don't have a lieutenant as of now so I think you're free to take him.

Still not necessarily true! One can commission directly as a lieutenant. You might just have to be the world weary veteran stuck in a unit of green soldiers.
