Hey Rogue Cavaliers,

Glad to see all is well amongst the security forces.

Just a couple of friendly corrections and unsolicited advice from an actual active duty servicemember. Feel free to ignore, especially if your sole purpose is parody.

It's Provost Marshal, not Marshall. And no hyphen.

The rank is Lieutenant Colonel--again, no hypen. That one jumps out at me 'cause, well, I have first-hand knowledge.

For general knowledge, each service abbreviates the rank differently, :

Army--LTC
Navy--CDR (since an 0-5 in the Navy is called a Commander)
Air Force--Lt Col
Marine Corps--LtCol

You might also use some of these billet titles for your various members:

Adjutant--the guy who does all the paperwork and acts as your herald.

Chief of Staff--the guy who actually runs the staff, as opposed to the Commanding General who commands things.

G-1--Personnel/Manpower/Recruiting Officer.
G-2--Intelligence officer. Optional, of course--it's hard to find intelligence.
G-3--Operations Officer.
G-4--Logistics Officer
G-6--Communications Officer

Don't ask what happened to the G-5. You don't want to know. Napoleon came up with all these, so blame the French.

Substitute S- for G- if you're at the Regimental Level (for Marines) or lower.

You might also need some troops--sergeants, corporals, lance corporals, and privates. Somebody's got to actually work for a living.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I had that job as a lieutenant.

Didn't want it then, wouldn't want it now.

Give it to some newbie.

Gracias for your input, we are always looking at ways to improve our humble band of rogues. What we were trying to do in the beginning was model our leadership structure after the british army. We got a lot of the information from this web site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Army_officer_rank_insignia

Clearly we're not all on the same page yet. We're a young group, but we're learning.

I'm sure that I'm speaking for all of us when I say that we would really appreciate it if you could direct us to a location where we might find U.S. officer insignia and structure information. We would like to discuss the pros and cons of using each of them (british and U.S.) and would like to use insignias in some manner as we grow our group.

Thanks for your service.

Sure, but first give me some clarification.

Are you going for a certain era? I see Cavaliers and I think English Civil War (17th Century). You know--Cavaliers vs. Roundheads and all that.

But Cavalier can include quite a lot, including other euros (like the French) and the American Colonies (Virginia Cavaliers, of course).

Also, are you thinking mainly Army? If so, what Branch? I suppose Cav would be appropriate. Those guys still wear spurs on their dress uniforms. Cool.

In any case, I'll find you some sources to help you with insignia and titles.

And if you were using the Brits, my corrections aren't applicable. The Brits do it their own way. But they've got some peculiarities of their own (like pronouncing lieutenant as leftenant--never understood that one.)
