This is gonna split the players. Much as I like the idea of a pilot, you're gonna have a lot of players in different places not interacting. While my formal recommendation to nix this field will kill one of my prospective character concepts, I stand by that advice.

That's a good point actually. To remedy this i see two options.

1. Everyone is in the same branch (army) by default.

2. The original position is stated in the sheet but due to a need for more men in one area or a lack of equipment (something along those lines) they will be relocated with the rest of the group.

As much as I like giving people options without a co-dm I'd probably get bogged down trying to handle several stories at once. Plus the point is for this to be a united effort. 

I'll take a look at how to better implement all of this.
