Expanding the Military NCO Ranks

[Marcus Quinctilius Valerius]

Description of the idea:  My idea is to expand the military ranks to prevent people from getting to officer too quickly 
the following ranking would go down like this  starting by the nco 
Feldwebel 
Oberfeldwebel 
Hauptfeldwebel 
Stabsfeldwebel 
- Adding the rank - 
Oberstabsfeldwebel / Oberstabsbootsmann 
once you reach that rank after that you become a leutnant 
to get a better understanding / meaning of the new rank 
Oberstabsfeldwebel is the highest ranking NCO within the german military 
Oberstabsfeldwebel is equivalent to sergeant major in the U.S Army or Warrant Officer 1 in the British Army 

Why should this be added?:   To get less people to become officers having 15 officers and less NCOs is crazy to me 
lets say a battalion of 150 men there is only 30 to 35 officers (maybe less)  and the rest are NCOs and enlisted men 

What negatives could this have?:  N/A

The new regionalisation has given life to the lower ranks also giving them the respect they deserve however one position that has never been taken seriously was Head NCO / SGT MAJ, a formal rank being added to solely represent the single NCO who holds this position would add some actual validity to the title itself. Ofc, the equivalent title should be made for the airforce, kaiser guard etc...

This replaces the hole left behind by the old timeline when hauptfeldwebel (which was then the title for sgt maj) was incorporated into the ranking system under stabsfeldwebel. I just feel that a genuine title should be made for SGT MAJ, and oberstabsfeldwebel is the IRL version of sgt maj in the german military.

Senior Company Sergeant Major... 

The already most senior position in the NCO.

You know how to have less officers in the faction or people becoming a CO too quickly?

Don't promote people every single day. Just because you're able to do it doesn't mean you have to. 

You're looking for a solution that can already be handled IC.

You forgot to add Unteroffizier and Unterfeldwebel.

So? a lot of things around here are originally from the 50s 
feldjagers in general for example became MP  officially in the 50s 
UA doesnt seem to care about that neither 
many cars that people drive around are from 1951 part of mafia 2 
and so there is a lot of more things

That's not even the main point, the main point is that it's entirely solvable IC'ly. You'd just introduce another rank which wouldn't change anything at all.

I think you're better off advocating for a end of "rank inflation" by introducing a much bigger cooldown and limiting the amount of personal that can have a certain rank.

Denied. The Military's rank system is as flushed out as it needs to be. We do not need more ranks.
