What's funny is that by accepting my backstory, he accepted that Erik has been a Flame for almost 20 years. Now I was an O2 a million years ago in the service (Lt JG). I enlisted and worked my way up and after 6 years when I left I was an O2. So my point to him was if Erik was one grade higher then mine irl after 20 years... that didn't make him op or special, it made him a terrible soldier. That's the furthest he's gotten? I may copy Nat's title on the forums, call Erik the Worst Flame Ever.Seriously. It's pretty common in the Air Force (or it was when I was doing ROTC in college) to make Captain in a few years. Now, granted, you'll typically stay a Captain for a long time, but getting there is pretty quick.
