[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5257452, member: 4936"] See, that's the thing. I'm not sure the Imperial Navy has the same conventions as the United States military. In the USAF (armed forces, not Air Force), anyone who flies combat missions is an officer of at least Lieutenant rank. The amount of training and education required pretty much demands no less. But the sense I get from Traveller is that the Imperial military doesn't have that requirement. Enlisted personnel from all branches can start off with Pilot training, as well as pilot-related advantages like 3D Spatial Sense and so on. The feeling I get is that the advent of gravitational drives and anti-gravity has made piloting combat vehicles and spacecraft a lot [i]easier[/i] and thus require much less training, much less education, and can be taught to enlisted servicemen. But there's no clarification to that effect in the actual rules. So basically it up to you. If you rule that pilots must be officers, then I'll make that work in my background. If you rule that enlisted can be combat pilots, then I'll go with that. [/QUOTE]
