Feel free to look for threads you could join, go ahead and do some RPs, see if you can tag along on missions (Ask the people heading them up), and you can always ask a senior enlisted personnel for training if you like. They may say no, but you can always ask.
Sweet, thanks. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to sign up as that rank, but it couldn't hurt to try. Besides, I can still RP stuff out and rank up later on. Not a full admiral yet, so I don't control entire fleets or anything.
