Military

True, I have done a few stories involving the Military. In fact, I won a competition for one of them. But I haven't done any with Military as the first genre. I do plan on doing more of them in this year. In fact, I plan on doing a couple of them in the near future.

To me, Military means Action/Adventure. But it can also mean Mystery and Drama too. I don't think I have done any Drama, except as a third genre, but I have Action/Adventure and Mystery. At least I think I have done Mystery. I'd have to check my portfolios to be sure. I'm pretty sure on the Action/Adventure. But I could be wrong about that too.

Earth militarily is a lot different that the rest of the universe. Yes, I know this is a subject that should be in my PureSciFi account. And it probably will be sooner or later. But it's a big part of this one too. after all, Military is a genre in Writing.com. As for our military being different than all the rest, is because we have ranks in ours. Most of the universe doesn't. They know who their Commanders, Captains, Etc. are. So, they don't need to use them. Everyone knows who everyone else is. Usually, because of the clothing they were. Of course, that isn't true on a few million planets where there is no clothing.

No rank isn't completely accurate. Almost every planet has a military of some kind. And they do have ranks. They just don't title them. The same is true about moons, spaceships, etc. If they come from a planet then the planet's ranking system is the same. But if they don't come from a planet then there usually isn't any ranks. There's also a big difference on who is the top ranking officer is. Especially on spaceships, space stations and SpaceBases. We call ours Admirals or Captains. But the rest of the universe call them Commante, then Commanders, etc. Quite a few of them uses co-'s in their titles too. The most common one used is Co-Captains.
