First of all if you were anonymous then why are you revealing who you are...and why ot the first time you were posting a comment? But, that still dosnt justify why u gave this story a 9/10. If you can give me a reason then i will leve you alone. One better than "u got ranks messed up. There is a 2nd Lt. befour 1st."

Thanks so far, I will change the rifle matter, and in the new post I will explain a bit more on the issue, (he had been excepted to OCS)

I agree with Berconius. Please get the technatlities straight. A 1st Lieutenant would only be a Company XO or a staff officer. Or it's possible for one to lead a platoon or (if things are really bad) a company. But not a brigade or battalion. 8.5/10, though, keep it up.

Terrific, one of the few fanfics that I've seen that actually bother to use emotions. I'd like very much to read more.

Little details to look out for though:

the Assualt rifle is an MA5B, not an M5Ab.

Non-commisioned soldiers are not command leevel personel as you have put it. If your character is supposed to be a 1st LT., then he had to start as a 2nd LT. 2nd Liutenants start off commmanding a platoon. It doesn't make sense to say that your character "eventually" got his command, if he climbed up the ranks, then he is likely to be a first Sergeant or perhaps a master gunnery Sergeant. Just keep the technical details in mind.

Other than that, it's great. 8.5/10

Good story. I liked your use of emotions to give the character realism. Keep it up.
