Recruit is the rank given to soldiers who are entering boot camp or undergoing basic training. Frequently they have no rank insignia or a very simple one.
Contents
SLDF
Recruits in the SLDF wore a white rank patch during basic training and on their first posting.[1] Recruits who were entering the SLDF Naval Command were known as Spaceman Recruits.
In the Second Star League Defense Forces, a Recruit was promoted to Private immediately after graduating boot camp.[2]
Lyran Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance
LCAF/LAAF recruits wear the "Narrow Arrow" as their rank insignia, like Privates. They are not allowed to wear the Lyran Alliance insignia however.[3]
Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery
A recruit in the DCMS is titled hojuhei but bears no rank insignia.[4]
Armed Forces of the Federated Suns
Recruits in the AFFS wear a black sword on a green field as their rank insignia.[5]
Capellan Confederation Armed Forces
In the CCAF, recruits are known as Shia-ben-bing. Unlike other militaries a CCAF recruit who graduates to regular service is still known as a shia-ben-bing rather than a Private. Applicants to a Warrior House are called Aspirants.[6]
Free Worlds League
Like the first Star League, the FWLM has Recruits and Spaceman Recruit depending on the desired branch of service. A Recruit in the FWLM has no rank insignia.[7]
The Clans
All the Clans lack the rank of recruit, as all members of a Warrior caste training sibko are essentially recruits. Several Clans refer to their warrior sibko members by nicknames however, which could be considered recruit ranks.
Clan Hell's Horses
Clan Hell's Horses warrior trainees are frequently referred to as "colts." [8]
Clan Jade Falcon
Clan Jade Falcon training officers (Falconers) will sometimes refer to their sibko members as "fledgelings."[9]
ComStar/Word of Blake
Neither ComStar nor the Word of Blake Militia use the rank of recruit.[10]
Free Rasalhague Republic
The KungsArmé doesn't use an explicit recruit rank.[11]
Periphery Powers
Magistry of Canopus
In the Magistry Armed Forces, all incoming troops are known as a Volunteer.[12]
Taurian Defense Force
Like many other Inner Sphere militaries, trainee troops of the Taurian Defense Force are called Recruit.[13]
Marian Hegemony
In the Hegemony Armed Forces, a recruit undergoing training is known as miles, which is Latin for soldier.[14]
Outworlds Alliance
As the Alliance Military Corps gets most of its new troops via planetary lotteries held by the Parliaments of individual member worlds, calling a trainee "Recruit" is inaccurate. In recognition of this, the AMC identifies all its trainee soldiers as Defender.[15]
