Right, so this is a thread to brainstorm up new guidelines for training in the Republic. I've already talked a bit to Johnny about this, but I want more input.
What I've got for the new guidelines -and these are rough basics, so bear with me- is this:
Effective immediately, all characters joining the Republic Military for the first time will be entered into the roster at the lowest rank possible. In order to become an Officer or Non-Commissioned Officer, you will have to put your character through a training thread in the Academy. [Working title.]
In the Academy, your character will be given tactical and procedural training to ensure that your character is completely combat ready. The training thread will last a minimum of 40 posts, with no exceptions. After completing the Academy, you will be required to demonstrate your tactical knoweledge by completing a mission in the form of a randomly assigned combat simulation. You will be assigned a rank following following a review of your performance within the simulation.
However, if you are making a character of a rank higher than Captain, special rules apply. Due to the power associated with high military ranks, you'll be required to submit an application to myself or Johnny. We will review it, and if we approve, we will assign a simulation thread to you for you to complete. If we are satisfied with your performance in the thread, you'll have earned your rank.

Now, this is all very tentative. I'd greatly appreciate feedback on this, in the interests of making it as fair as possible.
