Thanks for the Mod!. Semper Fi USMC 1978 to 1988 1st Mar Div.

Not to be a stickler or anything (I totally am, though), but from GySgt, you either go to MSgt OR 1stSgt. from there it's MGySgt or SgtMaj, respectively.

Usually the MSgt -> MGySgt is for field-type stuff (subject matter experts and whatnot) and the 1stSgt -> SgtMaj are more for command-type stuff (troop training, general leadership and whatnot)

WOTC compatible!

Im a poolee and this is super helpful for learning the ranks before boot xD

Fuck yea. Semper Fi

No terminal lance in the bracket? Shame

Nice work, thanks!

MOS flags and tatts! Take out master sergeant because they have no future, move first up and insert Sgt Major. And if you feel up to it, maybe some decent haircuts.

btw, what mod you using for your Lifetime Stats in the screen shots?
Klord68 Feb 28, 2017 @ 10:53pm 
been looking for a mod that puts the rank icons to match your mod. would love to see it all come out and work together. Semper Fi....

@Scoritn Well thank you, I plan on making other branches when I have more time. Just very busy with university and what not.
Scoritn Feb 24, 2017 @ 9:09am 
yeah... I reliesed my silly comment a minute later. In all fairness the odst threw me off, and i cant read well late at night when I'm tired... but i do like this mod and subbed to the non LW2 version.
Tex  [author] Feb 24, 2017 @ 1:22am 
@Scoritn In the USMC....?
Scoritn Feb 23, 2017 @ 9:20pm 
My opinion, but it would have been cooler if the eighth rank was Master Chief Pettey Officer
Tex  [author] Feb 19, 2017 @ 3:29pm 
@NYC AirLancer See my reply to @Dalthius a few posts down.

Also, nah. If i'm really struggling for ranks I'll put WOs into the officer pack when I update it. Right now the pack only affects enlisted ranks in Long War 2 mod.
NYC AirLancer Feb 19, 2017 @ 2:29pm 
Or hell, just make 'em into Warrant Officers.
NYC AirLancer Feb 19, 2017 @ 2:28pm 
Should be Master Gunnery Sergeant (MGySgt), aka THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, for 8th rank.
Tex  [author] Feb 19, 2017 @ 7:50am 
@Rakonat See my reply to @Dalthius a few below yours
Woozle Feb 19, 2017 @ 7:21am 
Hahaha, we need a terminal lance mod
Rakonat Feb 19, 2017 @ 6:49am 
Shouldn't E-9 be Sergeant Major, not 1st Shirt?
Akahige Feb 18, 2017 @ 10:38pm 
So where's the mod that makes the xp requirement from LCPL to CPL retardedly high?
(I'm being serious. I don't know how I feel fielding an entire corps of Tech Sergeants....)
Dalthius Feb 18, 2017 @ 10:17pm 
Fair enough; I know a lot of Master Sergeants that would be pretty pissed, though. ;)
Tex  [author] Feb 18, 2017 @ 10:14pm 
@Dalthius I know it's the same pay grade. But even having E-8s in any sort of combat is kind of pushing it. An E-9 would be even more absurd. I formatted it it the way I did so that there could be a solid 8 ranks without making things fall outside of semi-realistic bounds.
Dalthius Feb 18, 2017 @ 9:53pm 
Why does a First Sergeant outrank a Master Sergeant? That makes no sense...they are the same pay grade. Still, happy to see this uploaded for the masses; most folks are not comfortable editing ini files, it seems. I modded mine to reflect USMC ranks; now I need to get the rank pictures to match.

army please buddy
Tex  [author] Feb 18, 2017 @ 9:40am 
@Belhedler there's no real way to translate USMC jargon into French, but I tried my best. It basically means the same thing (probably) :D

@Klord68 & @Tactical Salad get some boys!
Swords Feb 18, 2017 @ 6:04am 
Oh sweet, used your old one for most of my over 600 hours of playtime. Thanks for the update!
Klord68 Feb 18, 2017 @ 4:19am 
The Suck is Jar head slang for the corps. and i love the mod. been looking for this , thx :D
Belhedler Feb 18, 2017 @ 4:15am 
The first sentence says this: Welcome on the s.h.i.t Commander (trying to bypass filter here). It's probably not what you wanted to say, isn't it? It appears on Workshop page too :p
Tex  [author] Feb 18, 2017 @ 3:14am 
@harlequin565 exactly why I put the readme inside of the mod folder :)
harlequin565 Feb 18, 2017 @ 3:11am 
@degreifenreiter - That's the great thing about XCOM2 modding. A couple of tweaks and you can have whatever country you want saving the world. My squads are all Super Army Soldiers from the UK. (10 extra points for the obscure reference).
Tex  [author] Feb 18, 2017 @ 2:50am 
@timsndrson What branch mate?

@dergreifenreiter Nope. US Marines on my end. I'll upload screenshots shortly.
dergreifenreiter Feb 18, 2017 @ 2:37am 
But it isn't US Marines ... it's international X-Com.
timsndrson Feb 18, 2017 @ 2:29am 
UK RACKS PLEASE
