Many people have been holding serious and well-composed discussions about the new ranks structure they would use, were they to be elected. There are four main groups:
- The “old” Commando ranks of 2007/08
- The new ranks (see present)
- A mix of both (Furbur27)
- The ranks known to the world as the “serious” or “real” ranks)
For future reference, I clearly believe in point 4. Thus my ranks could be categorized as “CAT IV” ranks, were my index to be used. And because every country is different, here the NATO Code, written before each rank, a code recognized by more than a dozen nations’ militaries for reference (including YOUR and MINE). It’s in the internet if you’re interested. THE STAR COUNT NEXT TO THE RANK NEVER CHANGES UNLESS PROMOTED AND IS ONLY FOR COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. It’s basically the insignia (shoulder stripes/stars). But onto the ranks:
* = In all nations, the Commander-in-Chief is NOT listed in the Army ranks. Since I did, however, I invented the code “MA-3″, “MA-2″ and “MA-1″, as “OF-10″ is the highest for an officer who is physically enlisted IN the Army. MA-3, of course, is the President.
** = The General-Colonel was a rank in Imperial Germany for those not qualified for Field Marshal (due to prejudice). In this system, however, it is the equivalent of a Head General (where ONE Warlord is the Branch Leader). The Branch Leader here is the Grand Marshal of the _____.
*** = Specialist is the equivalent of a Corporal, but for a “special divison”. When promoted from this rank, the soldier leaves the Army as such and joins the hierarchial system of the special divison; ranks are very likely to work differently. General-Colonel is the highest rank a specialist can reach.

An Analogy with a year ago:
MA-3 = Leader
MA-2 = Head Warlord
MA-1 = Warlord (Branch Leader; only ONE)
OF-10 = Head General
OF-9-2 = Marshal (remember from Kg time?)
Below = all the same as rank name indicates.

Active Count
5 07 2009Dear Air Force members,
as the Federal Marshal of the Air Force, I am required to do weekly active counts, inventory, etc. (basically the stuff where we’d shut down for days, but hey, this is quasi shut down, and since I’m ambitious, we will instead continue our recovery process!)… All Air Force members, please comment below for the count. Anyone who does not respond within one week of this post is, unfortunately, discharged of service until they show their faces again (in case you were MIA during that jungle mission… shower first for god’s sake!).
Sincerely,
Ziehen, Federal Marshal of the Air Force; Presidential candidate of the Conservative Federalist Party – Vote Ziehen Aug. ‘09!
P.S.: I am counting on all of you to support the CFP during the election so that the Air Force will receive better support once I am elected!
