They say he learned how to shove a gun in people's faces from Commander Shepard.

I really doubt that Ashley's vocational code is "S7" I checked the magazine and it clearly says "S1." Bioware renders the lettering on weapons and armor in the mass effect universe using the "korataki" font. this is what S1 and S7 look like respectively in this font.

And unless she has recently taken a few rounds to the head, I doubt that her vocational code is S1. She could have borrowed the zero suit from another soldier with a vocational code of "S1" or it may not be a vocational code at all. However, it is likely that her vocational code has changed since ME1. According to the codex "the number indicates level of experience, as indicated by service record, technical scores, and commendations." and Ashley has both compiled a more impressive service record and won more commendations since than.

I'd like to meet the guys who saved Elysium and wiped out Torfan. They're probably N7 too. Unless their dead. :|

Only other N7's we know of so far are Anderson and Kai Leng. I'm not counting on seeing more of them in ME3. They're supposed to be a pretty rare find.

Prolly stands for belongs to Shepard, so S1 would be Shepard bang 1 and you get the idea

" The letter notes career path; the number indicates level of experience,
as indicated by service record, technical scores, and commendations.
All 26 letters are used, and numbers run from 1 to 7."

ME3? Shepard's getting neutered.

[naledgeborn]

In Mass Effect Ashley's vocational code was B4. Which I'm assuming "B" stands for Infantry. So being an S1 in Mass Effect 3 isn't too outlandish if she's been cross-trained into another vocation after the Battle of the Citadel.

Mr. Jacob Taylor

578C-8234-09

Tower 2, Bachjret Ward

Citadel

Dear Mr. Taylor,

It was with great regret that I learned of your resignation from the Alliance military. In your many years of service, you have proven yourself an exemplary marine. You have been an invaluable asset to the Alliance military, and we will miss your expertise and loyalty.

It is for this reason that I am prepared to offer you a promotion to the rank of First Lieutenant along with the corresponding raise in pay grade. I would welcome you as an addition to my company.

I hope that you will give my offer due consideration and I personally look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Col. Hashim Banks

First Earth Division Special Forces

Alliance Military

I suspect that Jacob will be promoted to an Alliance N7 in Mass Effect 3.

How about just another N? There's seven tiers of whatever N stands for. So how about an N5 or N6?

I don't think that'll happen, but ash has a S7 on her "armor" so she's highest level of whatever S is

S as in Spec-Ops?

I know that M is for the main infantry branch and that N is for the 'elite' branch.

B – Band (also including Color Guard, Honor Guard, etc.)
R – Surface Warfare (Infantry)
U – Security Forces (Military Police)

In canon (ME1), Ashley Williams has vocational code B4. R and U are closest in there to what her actually role was. Dunno what Kaidan was.

They're already being shoehorned into a Specter. Why also retcon them into being N7?

how times have i posted this? there is no confirmation that it is official!

   



Its on her pic . Bioware can deny it or what ever pics do not lie .  

whats on her pic? the S7 or a Spectre logo? point the spectre logo out cuz you must have better eyes than me.

Well, I can't for Ashley, but I certainly can for Kaidan.

http://na.llnet.biow...ard_liara-o.jpg

Look closely at the glare on his chestplate. What logo is that? I'd take that as enough confirmation that both Kaidan and Ashley will be Spectres, but you cannot argue that Kaidan isn't.

[Warlock Adam]

I just assumed s stood for spectre, although it could stand for special forces, spec ops, spying, etc. Who knows? And regarding the spectre symbol, for Kaiden it's on his chest in a screenshot (obscured by the light) and on his right arm in what looks like concept art. I haven't seen Ashley with the symbol yet, but it wouldn't make sense for kaidan to be one and not ashley.

[TheOtherTheoG]

I'd like to remind you that it isn't possible to promote an existing character to N7, since N7 is the name of the training program that the soldier went through, rather than a rank, in the same way that you can't be promoted from a regular soldier in the army to an SAS/Navy SEALS officer, you have to take a whole other training course to do so, one which would be too long to complete in the space between ME1 and ME3. At least I think that's how it works.

And anyway, Anderson is an N7 operative, and I think they confirmed that Kai Leng, also N7, will make an appearance in ME3, so yes, there will be other N7's.

[TexasToast712]

5 dollhairs says the new squaddie James Vega is a N7.

[Someone With Mass]

Kai Leng is a ex-N7 if that counts.

[naledgeborn]

N is Special Forces/Operations so S can't be the same thing. Also Kaidan and Jacob (used to be in Jacob's case) are N class (Special Forces) Alliance Marines. They just aren't of level 7 proficiency like Anderson, Leng, or Shepard.

S probably stands for Security or Colonial Security because that was what she was on Eden Prime and she probably stayed that way for Horizon so her cover wouldnt be blown.

I have doubts on whether we will have other N7 caliber soldiers (they'd have to be blow-for-blow on par with Shepard) but it is likely we will have an "N" soldier.

Jacob being in the N-category is speculation, but likely, but I never heard of Kaidan being part of the N-group. Is this because he served on the Normandy along with Shepard and Anderson? In this case that would mean Jenkins was also an N-soldier...

To add to speculation though: we never hear of Ashley/Kaidan's vocational code in ME2. It could be possible that between ME1 and ME2 they were recommended for Special Operations. I mean, Navy SEAL training is 18 months and British SAS training is 2 years. I doubt that N7 training is longer than that. Could also give more explanation to why Ashley/Kaidan were made into Spectres while the infinitely more qualified Garrus and Liara were not.

Liara was a Prothean historian/excavator and Garrus is a cop with military training. They are no more qualified than Ashley/Kaiden. Probably less qualified.

[Someone With Mass]

At least Garrus received special training to become a Spectre well before Ashley or Kaidan did(?).
