re: #161 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
From Wikipedia:
2501 “guardians” (ugh), and you want eight ranks of enlisted??
Seriously, this whole exercise of having a “space force” wouldn’t have gone anywhere under a competent Administration and a responsible Senate.
I went through 5 enlisted “ranks” (+specialist pay grades) in two years. since the bottom paid $79/mo and the highest paid $211/mo it was an important incentive tool.
