It's been the most polite debate I've seen in days, with the exception of a certain three-headed dog soldier.

Grissom is the biotic academy for young students, Arcturus Station is the Alliance's OCS and academy, the headquarters of the Alliance fleet and its Parliament.
Yeah, that would definitely sting for you, personally I have no problem with Ashely being the same rank as Shepard.CerberusSoldier wrote...
They should not be the same rank that is what I am saying how can they be the same . when Shepard is her superior and commanding officer . oh please trying to explain this with the in game garbage is wrong . Bioware made a huge mistake in Shepard's military rank . because no way in hell Shepard and Ashley are the same as in rank .

Ash jumps from LT in ME2, to LT Commander in ME3. Four ranks. One year. That would not happen, ever. Yes it's nit picky, but it's also dumb as hell. VS doesn't need to be shoehorned into importance. They already get spectre status.

Shepards command would still superscede hers if he commands the Normandy and it's crew with her being one of the crew, he essentially becomes her captain.

Actually I personally know a man who was promoted from Colour Sergeant to Captain for doing a good job in Afghan. Great guy but he didn't save the seat of galactic politics or anything. I think this might not be as dumb as you think it is.

So, uh, why does Kaidan, who is a major as of ME3, command a company? That seems like a comically disproportionate pay grade for such an assignment, especially considering the fact that the Systems Alliance major is equivalent to a modern American colonel.

Not the point. Why place Alenko in command, then? Alternatively, why promote him to major?FeralEwok wrote...
Because they didn't have enough biotic soldiers for a batallion or regiment?
Yes, that is the source for what I said. Doesn't explain anything.incinerator950 wrote...
Biotics Company. Probably just off writing, but Kaidan is one of the most experienced Human Biotic users in the Alliance.
Kaidan commands 1st Special Operations Biotic Company, a specialized arm
of covert operations within the Alliance Army. At the Alliance Special
Warfare Center and School, he takes the best and the brightest from the
Ascension Project at Grissom Academy and trains them to be elite biotic
soldiers.

And if they're so intent on giving a Spectre (?) in charge of a group of elite commandos a high grade regardless of his actual assignment and time spent in grade, why not promote Shepard?Yes, that is the source for what I said. Doesn't explain anything.incinerator950 wrote...

I would assume off writing, but BioWare's been sneaky enough with stuff like that in ME2 - like explicitly stating that there were more than one Collector cruiser - that I have to think it's meaningful.

So does he command or train? Or is it a unit still in training?

Sure, there are obvious reasons to put Alenko in command of the unit. But this sort of combat team doesn't get formed on a whim - it had to be in the offing quite some time before the events of ME3, and yet Alenko was promoted to major anyway. Why?FeralEwok wrote...
He's one of the most experienced and competent biotics in the Alliance, and it is a special unit. It's probably not a standard infantry company, so they want someone who truly knows how to command. (though I've never seen Alenko's leadership abilities)
Well, yeah. But it felt good to see somebody else say it.FeralEwok wrote...
Why not promote Shepard?
Honestly?
Because Commander Shepard sounds better than Major Shepard as that is what he/she has become known as.
