Promotions and advanced roles are earned through performance, qualifications, and fleet needs. Special assignments, such as capital ship command, are reserved for proven leaders.
Reservist membership is available for those who wish to be part of the 173rd without committing to full-time service. Reservists have a rank cap of Starman (unless specifically granted by command) and cannot hold specialized roles.
