To asnwer the rank questions:
and
This is quick and dirty breakdown of an infantry platoon. A 1st or 2nd Lieutenant leads a Platoon. He is assigned a Sergeant First Class as his Platoon sergeant. A Staff Sergeant runs one of each of the 4 squads in the platoon. The squad consists of 2 teams. Each team is lead by a Sergeant or a Corporal with 3 Privates under him.
A tank platoon is has the same top level structure and consists of 4 sections, the platoon sergeant and lieutenant each have their own tank with a gunner (a sergeant or coproral), loader and driver (both privates). The other 2 sections have Staff sergeants in charge of the tanks
A Captain runs a Company and has a First Sergeant as his strong right hand (he has an XO as well) . At all higher level echelons the top NCO is the Command Sergeant Major (battalion, brigade, division etc.)In the US Army you can work in a position up two pay grades higher than your current one.

So what does this mean for the Air Force ranks that we are using? Would it be conceivable that my character would be a Mech (Tech) Sgt.? Since we probably aren't going to have any enlisted in the group, should I just make my guy a Lt.? Does any of it really matter? I was just going for a flavor thing for my guy, so I could go either way, really.

The 'privates' under you could be your repair team/design team.
Just a thought.

Glad to have you back.

As far as I'm concerned, the Mech Sgt. rank is fine. It's not really a huge issue, and the Solar Alliance Military is looking for every mecha pilot they can get.

This is more or less the structure I was assuming. Mechas require a lot of maintenance between missions, which is why I assigned officer ranks to the PCs.
