966 Learning About The Captain Rank

Gustav understood what he was talking about and voiced out, "Since I am already at this rank that means I can have an entire squad of thirty MBO officers who would answer to me alone," 

"Yes but you would still have to answer to higher ranked officers and whatever they do, their flops and wins will all be on you. If they misbehave you take the fall with them," Gradier Xanatus responded.

"Interesting... And I can pick any officer so long as they are below me in terms of rank?" Gustav asked.

"Yes, except they are in other squads in that case the officer in question would have to write an application to get transferred to your squad. There are special situations when officers from different squads are brought together to go on a mission. In that case, after they undergo the mission they return to their squad," Gradier Xanatus explained in length.
