Time in Service Time in Grade (WIP)

[Chris Wilson]

I figure we need a run down of TIS/TIG for everyone to help put together an age for their character


So i will start with Officers.

Rank ----- TIS ----- TIG ----- Average time after last promotion
Ensign N/A N/A After Academy/flight school/ OCS
Lt Jg 24m 24m 26-28 months
Lt 5y 36m 40-44 months
Cpt 8y 36m 42-46 months
Mjr 11y 36m 42-46 months
Lt Col 15y 48m 50-56 months
Col 19y 48m 50-56 months
Cdr 24y 60m 66-70 months


Will get the rest later but I need Roger to look it over. this is a very basic start and much more to go beyond that.

[Roger Davis]

If we're modeling after US military then I think it should look more like this.


Rank TIS TIG
O-1 0 0
O-2 18m 18m
O-3 4y 2y
O-4 10y 3y
O-5 16y 3y
O-6 22y 3y

From what you had going on, it took longer to get the low ranks and shorter to gt the high ranks. Of course BSG slips in two extra ranks to frak things up, so technically an O-6 is an O-8. That would probably make it so that those middle ranks (O-4 through O-6) have lower requirements. However, the point still remains that the first few should be easier as well. If I were to rewrite it then it would be more like this.

O-1/ENS 0 0
O-2/LT JG 18m 18m
O-3/LT 3.5y/42m 2y
O-4/CPT 7.5y/90m 3y
O-5/MAJ 11y 3y
O-6/LTC 14y 3y
O-7/COL 17y 3y
O-8/CDR 22y 4y








Also, N.B. on the Ensign. I don't think flight school should be included on the list of when you'd be comissioned. You'd go through a full academy, ROTC program, or OCS and THEN go to flight school, right? Everyone would already be an officer by that time, right?

[Samuel Lion]

Also i was thinking wouldn't an academy cover the ocs?

[Chris Wilson]

you were or Roger was when he mentioned that in the C-box. lol

[Samuel Lion]

I was but its covered now
