Oh you're kinda right! When i mentioned boarding school i meant in the sense that they'd be living within the Academy itself. Perhaps having weekends off or something. They'd be taught in small classes but only for normal education subjects. When it comes to things pertaining to their 7th sense, it'll be more 1on1 or small groups as you mentioned
All splyced children are born with the vein markers, so they are codexed since birth. When they reach schooling age, they will have to be sent for followups at academy branches in the various cities they belong to. Then at 12 (is that middle school?) They are enrolled fully into the academy, whether or not their 7th sense has displayed. Those whose sense has manifested earlier than that will likely have to go to the academy earlier.
On the question of officer titles. You guys are probably right. I have no clue in all honesty, so i wouldn't even want to pretend i know how it works in the edenseed universe LOL! I'll leave it to you guys.
Awesome! That clears things up for me! I'll store this information away for later, so in this case everyone who's the same age would be ideally classmates from when they were twelve and up to boot camp. Speaking of which, are they all together for boot camp as well or do they get shipped out to their own respective military?
We'll make up the in-universe military system as we go, haha - don't think we'll be getting too much into it anyway, but I figure that using the NATO paygrade codes will be easier and we can just agree on what the rank title is afterwards - they're pretty similar across the board anyway, with a few deviations here and there.
Probably would make her an OR-4(Cpl) then. Her field brevet would be OF-1 (2nd Lieutenant). Although by the Seige of Ardennais she was probably about doing the job of a 1st Lieutenant.
Neat-o! OR-4/5 is just about the right rank they should have after 5 years in the military, so that works out just fine!
