Blue Beret (rank)

A Blue Beret Special Forces Officer is the highest-ranking soldier position in the Great Empire Military Forces. The title is reserved for only the most respected and honored soldiers within the military, skilled in all areas as well as highly educated, and fit mentally and physically. Out of 3 billion soldiers, there are around 4 million Blue Berets. Troops with status also have received a Blue Star Medal, the highest honor in the Empire.

Status
To achieve the rank, one must serve for at least 10 years in the military, go through a 3-year training course, and pass the SFOT test. At least 4 years each of two branches of the military are required. The course includes training in health, guerrilla warfare, engineering, and business technology. Skill with computers and technology is most important, as another requirement is to create your own unique device that could be useful. Another skill required is to be able to operate machinery, such as piloting jets and ships and having a thorough knowledge of engineering and repair. Many Blue Berets become Naval Captains or Head Surgeons.

Notable recipients of Blue Beret status are General Olleus, Lieutenant Kuzlan, and Kuzon Jr..
