Everyone is technically military, active duty or reserve. Everyone gets the basic training, those with an aptitude for it continue on, others are directed towards roles that suit their skills.<br/><br/>From what I can see, both characters have Backing 3, which would give them equal rank in the Manse command structure. Muse, if I'm reading this wrong feel free to jump in. The way I would view it, Yolhu would probably have responsibility towards the active duty forces, Ashen Heron towards the 'civilian' reserve. Is that the way the two of you see it as well? <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm fairly lost right now.  (It might just be that I'm snowed in with next to no caffeine.  ^_^;;  )<br/><br/>What I'm getting hung up on right now, are people thinking they should be in charge of an entire branch of the military?  That sounds like something NPCs would be covering.  I envision the manse having a half dozen 150-250 year old essence six dragon blooded who were the generals and admirals.  I hadn't thought through the idea of different branches of the military here, but I was envisioning people like Heron and Yolhu as captains and colonels.<br/><br/>As such I didn't think that people would wind up contesting for positions.  ^_^;;  Not sure if that's a relevant point or not.  I know it wasn't the matter of immediate confusion.
