Argent Watch Ranks

With many coming to Argent Watch from various backgrounds, a ranking system was created to maintain a clear chain of command. The ranks used aboard the Affinity are listed below.

Enlisted
Regardless of their branch, all Argent Watch members are ranked within the Argent Watch itself. Those rankings are as followed, listed in order of lowest to highest level of responsibility.

Novice I (N-1) (Anyone new to Argent Watch will start here.) Novice II (N-2) Novice III (N-3) Novice IV (N-4) Novice V (N-5) Scout I (S-1) Scout II (S-2) Scout III (S-3) Scout IV (S-4) Scout V (S-5) Veteran I (V-1) (Former Command Staff and former Directors will start here.)

Civilians
Argent Watch will have civilians on board the RSS Affinity.

As a civilian, they will be limited to what they can do on the RSS Affinity.

If a member of Argent Watch brings a civilian to a mission or important situation, they will be consultants. This means they are able to assist, but this is, again, only if a member of Argent Watch who is dealing with the mission or situation asks for them.

The second promotions are the Argent Watch ranks. These promotions are handled by the Command Staff.

There are several factors that the Command Staff looks at when deciding if someone should get promoted:
 * Activity
 * Involvement with the crew and ship
 * How outgoing a member is
 * Does the member start activities for the crew or wait for someone else to do it
 * Past issues or disciplinary required
