Once again, I don't understand what you're talking about. Are you talking 
about the levels as they pertain to OBEs, KBEs and GCBEs, or are you talking 
about something else entirely?

Yeah. That's probably me not articulating myself correctly.

What I was trying to say was that even a 64 page book on the "Grunt" class 
or the "Officer" class would probably end up being heavily padded, and 
therefore not be good value for money. I'm certainly not suggesting that PEG 
writers don't rock, but that I think they'd be hard pressed to be able to 
fill 64 pages about "Medics." (assuming that 64 is the most cost-effective 
way for them to print the book, of course)

I still think a military book would be pretty cool, though.

Erm...what kind of rewards did you have in mind? The Promotion rules are 
based on experience (p158), and the medals are based on checks based on 
actions in combat (p159). Again, it doesn't cover every possible 
eventuality, but there's enough there to give you a guideline for modifiers 
if you want to give them bonuses outside the list.
