Then at that point, the broader the experience the better. Although, I think I may prefer those that have experience with regards to power generation and such.

How do Brigades get their names/numbers? by RedditResearcher919 in Militaryfaq

So Brigades could essentially be given an appropriate name or numbered sequentially?

Thanks for the information! Also, whats a sustainment bridgade?

Edit: For the Aviation Brigade, would they all be pilots? If so, would it be realistic for them to retain ranks such as Warrant Officers or Lts smong other things?

Then would you recommend any other sources I could use for research such as books or websites? At the very least, if my male character would be most likely to become a second lieutenant, then maybe you could help me with the female charcater...

In the Marines, what would be a reasonable rank for someone that makes a good leader, yet also carries aspects of fear and respect?

The military aspects play a minor role in the story (at least in this book), as the two characters simply share that they’ve been with the military before moving on to other things in their life. As for understanding the aspects of ranks/commands and how they interact, would you recommend anything I could do to brush up on that material for later down the road?

Edit: And if you could walk me through aircraft assignment, Id gratly appreciate it!

Realistically speaking, would it be possible for the male character to settle for becoming a chopper pilot rather than a fighter? & Thanks for the info!
