yeah you will keep your current rank from over in ambassador as sergeant to Armada and the squad your go in. i will not take that a way from you.
the rest is up to you to prove to me that you can do the job of a Lt. if that the rank your wanting to get to so you well need to work on finding new recruits remember were 18 and over and training lower ranking people in your clan. Have complete understanding or rank and honor code and be able to navigate the forms to help fellow members and helping your captain when ever need. you should always be trying to learn and do the rank above you if you want to keep moving up. remember that when you read the rank structure that when it talks about time be for you can move up to the next rank that just mean you need to have held that previous position for at lest that long to even be considered for the next position that does not mean you well be given it. All position must be earned by doing the work and showing that you deserve that rank.
