Section 8 ~ Promotions

The promotion schedule is based on the TIS and TIG matrices below. (The formatting is a bit screwy. I'll try to fix it later.) We also haven't figured out if the cadet promotion schedule should be different and if their will be a particular rank at which they can "crossover".
