After coming to the belated conclusion of the requirement for certain ranks with badges and the like - I came up with perhaps two simple questions. After realizing that I wasn't being able to reach 1st Sgt. due to the lack of badges (and WAY past the global point mark) - thinking it was the next rank after Master Sgt - I decided to go for the Sgt. Major rank. Currently I'm at 40k global points, and I have every requirement according to BF2S except for the basic transport badge and the ground defense badge. This can be seen ---here---.
Now, when I reach 50k - and lets say that I do get the last two required badges before the global point requirement - can I still attain the Sgt. Major rank even though I didn't get the senior rank (1st Sgt) @ 20,000, and be forced to get the Master Gunnery Sgt. rank? I've got this idea of senior rank - to - senior rank, however I'm hoping that's not the case. I'm hoping that I can attain Sgt. Major regardless of what rank I got @ the 20k global mark as long as I get the badges that are required. Hopefully someone can clear this up for me.
Secondly, the two last required badges according to BF2S require me to be in a transport for 10 minutes IAR, and 5 minutes IAR in a ground D object (mounted MG or TOW). Now, is this 5 minutes collectively IAR? Or 5 minutes straight? As in, do I have to sit in one for 5 minutes before exiting? Or can I hop around between the mounted D objects and as long as I get a TOTAL of 5 minutes IAR I get the badge? Same thing relating to the Transport requirement. Is this 10 minutes total IAR, or 10 minutes straight IAR?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
