Understood. And I think that is s very cool system.
I would not like it if you got rank JUST because you went up a level.
Just because you deserve a promotion does not mean that they(the upper 
ranks) will notice that you deserve it.

I like the modifier part too. If you screw up big time, there should be a 
penalty to getting more rank. And if you do some great action then it should 
help.

For example, if you were to assault an officer, not only would you be in 
trouble from a military justice standpoint, it would also subtract a number 
from your rank roll for level advancment. You could even have them roll over 
a few levels. So if you REALLY screw up, your chances for level advancement 
are smaller unless you bust your hump redeming yourself.

On the other hand, if you save the life of an officer in combat (or any 
other situation) it should add to that roll to show that they are backing 
you for advancment.

Works for me. Thats about what I thought it would be like.

Agreed.


Again, just my thoughts on it.
