Shep will probably get promoted during the trial.

Shepard was stripped of his/her rank before ME3 so no

[frozngecko]

He's needed a promotion for a while now....what does he get from everyone? --> A T-shirt that says "I saved the galaxy, died, and came back to life to save it again and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"

[Adhin]

Doesn't matter if he was 'stripped of rank before ME3' or not. That kind of thing can easily get reinstated just as easily as it was 'stripped' considering the **** that's going on. Also I don't remember his rank being stripped, hes just not IN the Military anymore due to his death. He never got reinstated. If he was, he wouldn't start out as a private again.

You get reinstated you usually keep your old rank, or get a promote/demote. And in this case, again, due to the obvious (overly obvious) reaper threat there's a high probability they would reinstate him and promote on the spot. Same ordeal with Spectre status. Even if you never got it re-activated in ME2 you can bet it'll be reinstated immediately in ME3 when there all kissing your ass about saving the galaxy again.

 A couple of things...
Lt. Commander and Major are the same rank, therefore, between the two, Shepard is senior to Ash or Kaidan due to longivity. See http://www.defense.g...s/officers.aspx for a comparrison of ranks

Also note that the officer in charge of a vessel (such as a frigate) is refferred to as Captain and is the senior officer in charge. This is known as 'positional authority' aboard the vessal and is by default senior to any officer of equal rank and below assigned to the vessel.

I do, however, wonder what the thinking is in the command structure as listed in the  wiki is when all of the ranks generally follow naval rankings otherwise. Perhaps Major Sounded more cool than Colonel.

So if Kaidan/Ash are promoted to Major, then Shep should be promoted to Capt/Maj as well.

Shepard is a Spectre or an ex-Spectre depending on your decisions. Although you may get reinstated, he still operates outside and above the rank and file.

[S.A.K]

Lieutenant Commander is equal to Major in most armies. So that won't be a problem. But Major isn't a navy rank which means Kaidan was re-assigned(if I am not mistaken).

[Gabey5]

Rank is irrelevant in the face of the whole extermination of earth thing.... i think Kaiden will be willing to take a back seat since Shepard has more of the puzzle, wheras he has been out of the loop

answer is no

Allistair chose to take a backseat, he could have pulled rank anytime in the begining and taken charge if he wanted, but then it would not be as fun with someone else making the decisions

I can't speak about the US army. But in our army it is: Lieutenant - Senior Lieutenant - Captain - Major - Lieutenant Colonel - Colonel - General. So 'Commander' would be a sort of the person in charge (no matter the rank). Also I think 'Captain' can be used for the one who commands a ship even though according to rank he/she is Major or even Colonel. Since the Normandy is a special ship it wouldn't be a big surprise if it was commanded by someone ranking higher than Captain. Shepard once mentioned to the quarian Captain that he/she isn't a Captain of rank yet, suggesting Shep's rank is lower than Captain. Though I would assume Shepard left the Alliance to become Spectre, so from this point there is no point promoting Shep further. Spectre is probably even more powerful than Admiral. Just that neither an Admiral can command a Spectre nor the other way around. It is simply a different job. So the VS rank won't matter anyway, Spectre is Spectre.

There was a tweet by Mac saying that we will find out what the VS has done etc like how Liara was after the shadow broker etc. So there will be a reason for their promotion and SPECTRE status.

This whole "oh so he outranks me I'm going to kill him" is just plain silly.

More like they all would've died if DSC is any indication.

On the other hand we would have gotten a real Blight. Not this would-be one.

So, Ash jumped six ranks in two years? She went from Gunnery Chief to LT Commander. That's realistic.

[Sylvara]

Nope, I don't believe rank will have any effect on the Normandy. We're up against Reapers and galactic harvesting, so if Shepard takes command of the Normandy and the crew with general approval, then I doubt Kaidan is the type of guy to fight over it.

Besides Shepard need a promotion, not just reinstatement.

Yeah that's pretty ridculous.

The point is there is no promotion for Spectres. If you leave the Alliance to become Spectre you are ex-Commander or whatever the rank was. And you are Spectre now. I don't know if Spectres have a ranking of any sort, but I doubt it. They are all the same. Ash/Kay may have been promoted while Shep already has been Spectre (even though from Lieutenant to Major in 2 years seems a bit off).

Anyway, I am sure Bioware didn't think alot about whether it makes sense, as usual.

[fchopin]

Yep, Shepard will become the tea boy in ME3.

[crimzontearz]

Alenko died in all my playthroughs. That said if him or Ashley even begin to question my Shepard's authority they are getting airlocked

[Someone With Mass]

That rank won't matter for long.

[shepskisaac]

Yes, Shep's on the bottom now
