+1. As a former CMD of the now removed 101st, it was the 101st's job to train CTs, not other CTs. I get that you don't wanna join a battalion, but at the same fucking time, IT SHOULD BE AN UNSPOKEN RULE THAT IF YOU WANT TO GET A RANK YOU JOIN A FUCKING BATTALION! I thought the whole Idea of 2ndLT Goofy was dumb, and the fact that there's ANOTHER CT PVT makes no god damn sense. If you want to have a system where Shinies help other Shinies, bring back the 101st. Otherwise, get this shit out of my fucking Face.

So. I understand that there are people out there who think this suggestion is stupid, but at the same time, lemme just start out with saying this: I have been an officer multiple times the whole time I've been on Synergy, and each time I had to leave for a long period of time or when I mained my jedi, and removed from inactivity in a battalion, I went down to CT PVT. With the 101st, I know policies were different when it came to how their battalion worked, but at the same time, every person who joins the 101st outside of Naavi when she became 101st BCMD on Icefuse had to restart as a Private or a Private first class. Even if they were a Commander in another battalion, if they wanted 101st, they were demoted down to the bottom of the totempole again. It was always the 101st BCMD's Decision to promote them to their rank again if they felt like they wanted to, but the demotion stood. Just like if you're kicked out of a battalion or removed from inactivity (especially as an officer) you can't be going around as "CT Col" or "CT Cpt." Once you're kicked out, you have to go to the bottom of the totem pole. Believe me, I've had to do this multiple times, especially after I became more active on my Jedi, and other people who main their jedi have had to do the same thing too. Do you think it's okay for them to have to do that when the Precedent has been set that CTs are able to be promoted to Officers? No. Do you think they're going to do it still? Yes. Because I know, like other people know, that CTs aren't a battalion anymore, and even if they were, they would've still had to be demoted if they were placed in the 101st. Like I said previously, if you want to see things like Sock and Goofy promoted to 2ndLT, then either they need to a) be in a battalion or b) the 101st must be brought back so that they are promoted without having to join another battalion. Either way, "CT 2ndLT" is not only stupid, but not fair to people in battalions who aren't able to be active around the same time a High Officer is on to see, and promote appropriately. I get that "CT 2ndLT" was a meme, but there is always a point when you use a meme too much that it loses it's spiciness.
