Given the choice Garrus or Miranda, nothing against the VS but even my paragon spacer Shep has become disenchanted with the Alliance.

Garrus is the second in command on MY ship. Anyone who doesnt agree wih that gets launched out the Airlock.
Grunt is Garrus' second in command. Iam having him help me train my little krogan boy.
I was kinda hoping it to be Shepard, with the VS in charge.
Not gonna happen though, too many people would rage that their Shepard wouldn't be officially in command.

This assumes that Shepard is still in command of the Normandy. He didn't call the Normandy when the Earth was attacked, Anderson did. So Shepard may not be in command of anything secondary to his trial. If so, he either doesn't need an XO or he could become the XO to Anderson's command.

Other than Wiki is there a source for this "Alenko is a staff commander". Because as I remember in ME2, it refer him as "commander" only (just like Shepard).

For the OP, Garrus is the XO on my boat, Alliance ranks and Cerberus position be damned. If someone objects, they get educated on the chain of command.

When you talk to Anderson on the Citadel, there's an option to ask about Kaidan. Shepard will refer to him as staff lieutenant (which was his rank the last time Shepard saw him), and Anderson will correct Shepard by calling him staff commander Alenko, with emphasis on the commander. Nice attention to detail on the part of BioWare.
As a military officer, the whole promotion thing has always bothered me. A staff lieutenant is an O-3 per the wiki, and a staff commander is an O-5. I always viewed Kaidan as younger than Shepard, making him about right to be an O-3 during the events of ME1. Turns out, according to the Wiki, Kaidan is 3 years older than Shepard, making him 32 in ME1 and 34 in ME2. That means he would have been a very old O-3 and definitely on the young side to be an O-5. Yeah, I know the Alliance military can be very different from our own, but seeing him get two ranks in two years just bugs me as unrealistic. Making Kaidan a lieutenant commander would have fit story-wise and would have been far more believable.
On the other side of the Virmire nuclear blast, Ashley's upcoming promotion to lieutenant also bugs me. In ME2, she's an operations chief, or the highest enlisted rank the Alliance has. Per the wiki, she's 27 in ME2, which is *damned* young to be a senior NCO. Now, maybe the Alliance just doesn't bother with senior NCOs, and their six-rank structure is only supposed to equivocate to the first six ranks of a modern military's system instead of the total nine or ten. That would make more sense. Even so, prior-enlisted officer candidates generally don't come from the upper NCO ranks. Instead, they come from the middle, when they're still young enough to have a full officer career ahead of them. In my service, 27 is the absolute maximum age you can be to make the transition from officer to enlisted.
Either way, Shepard is long overdue a promotion himself. I doubt Bioware will make him a captain, because that would take away the "Commander Shepard" moniker we've become so used to. At the very least they should make him a staff commander - that way they can promote him, and keep the title.
For the OP, Garrus is the XO on my boat, Alliance ranks and Cerberus position be damned. If someone objects, they get educated on the chain of command.
