Commodore is the rank for those who have earned a command position in STARFLEET. A division commander is the leader of their division. They are required to do all things needed to improve their division: recruit, train officers, elect squad CO's and XO's and submit to the admiral's council those they feel deserve promotions, demotions and medals. In addition, they are required to make regular reports to command regarding their division activities and readiness. The CO of a division should also be training their XO for full division command in the event the CO must pass down their duties.

Cadets are non commissioned officer who have decided to become a commissioned officer. They will increase their knowledge of STARFLEET and the game that they play for STARFLEET until graduation from the academy and the rank of Ensign (navy) Second Lieutenant (Marines) is earned.

   

Non Commissioned offers (NCO'S) are Starfleet members who do not wish to be, or have not reached the stage where they can be so intensely involved in the day to day running of SF and its divisions in the same way an fully commissioned officer would be. They however may fill roles within the division of up to squad commander and may work in certain departments within Starfleet. It is important to note that a NCO after this rank may apply to become an officer, If a person has served for more than 18 months he or she may apply to the council for this to be taken into consideration. No member has a right to become and officer, upon receiving the request to become an officer the dean of the academy will consider the application, references from their CO and any other parties that have had experience with the member applying need to be reviewed. Dean of The Academy and the Primary Division CO must come to a agreement on whether the application is to be accepted or if the person is to continue as a NCO for the time being.

  

Starfleet members that have just recently joined the fleet and are working there way up in the ranks by being active in their division and their duties. Once an enlisted member reaches the rank of either Petty Officer 3rd Class (navy) or Staff Corporal (marines) the member may apply to the Starfleet academy to become and officer, or continue to the Non-Commissioned Officers ranks. If an application is rejected they may reapply in 3 months time or after a promotion.

   

Starfleet members who are looking for a more relaxed and less committed membership. Doctors are free of the many military requirements that Starfleet has but are still required to be respectful to superior authority while following the CoC. All persons joining Starfleet have the option of joining the military or being a Doctor in the Scientists tier. Joining the military means commitment to holding that rank and other responsibilities. Being a Doctor frees you from all major responsibilities giving you just a plain and simple membership in Starfleet.
