A thread for those with too much time on their hands :P
My system is based on the US ranks, with Roman-style military organization, which I like because its more regular, ten, hundred, five hundred, one thosand (Though I edited it slightly).

http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=559001

The Naval ranks are based on the US Naval system, with a few modifications to suite space-combat better.

(Notes on Fleet sizes:
A Negotiation, is as I noted, rarely used. Its basicaly a last-defence ultimate force type thing.
A Sector is one quarter of the Galaxy, there are four seperate Sector Fleets, each with divided down the ladder according to the rest of the rankings. Sector fleets are commanded by Sector Admirals, no lower ranks
A System is all the planets orbiting a sun, so a System fleet is assigned to all systems under DGNT control, six at present. System fleets are not usualy part of the Sector Fleet. System Fleets are commanded by Grand or Fleet admirals.
All other groups vary by assignment, but usualy fall within the numbers specified. Any group for more than fifteen capitol ships is assinged an Admiral.
Dontgoneartheres total Capitol Ships (not counting sales, trades and combat lossess): 3,500, this includes capitol class suport ships, mobile-space platforms and Piledriver planetbusters.
Combat ship total: 1,750)

...

For my army and air force, I use a simplified version of the U.S. system, with some differences:

Private
Private First Class
Corporal
Sergeant
Sergeant First Class
Master Sergeant
Chief Master Sergeant
Lieutenant
Captain
Major
Lt. Colonel
Colonel
Lt. General
Brigadier General
Major General
General

For my navy, the most notable difference is the rank of Commodore. In the Incorporated Sarzonia Navy, it's an official rank above captain and below the flag ranks (the Admirals). There are other differences as well:

Crewman
Crewman First Class
Crewman Second Class
Petty Officer
Petty Officer First Class
Chief Petty Officer
Master Chief Petty Officer
Senior Chief Petty Officer (aka, the Chief Of The Boat)
Ensign
Lt. (jg)
Lt.
Lt. Commander
Commander
Captain
Commodore
Rear Admiral
Vice Admiral

The units are taken from the U.S. Civil War era. The ranks come from L. E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Recluce Saga.

(High King*)
(Brigadier-General)
(General)
(Colonel)
Corps: 30,000-45,000 soldiers (Commander)
Division: 15,000 soldiers (Subcommander)
Brigade: 3,000 soldiers (Major)
Regiment: 500 soldiers (Submajor)
(Overcaptain)
Company: 100 soldiers (Captain)
(Undercaptain)
(Lieutenant)
(Sergeant)
Squad: 20 soldiers (Squad Leader)
(Guard)

*Only when High Council declares a state of emergency

Lower ranks may command higher units, and vice versa. Due to the limited size (100,000 at this moment) of Weyr’s High Guard, no unit designations exist above a Corps. Weyrean operational doctrine for (mechanized) infantry is based around the Company.
Tank/air units operate on the squad level in the field, with multiple squads of tanks/helos supporting each other.
The High King only assumes command of the armed forces when the High Council declares a state of emergency.
There is only one Brigadier-General at any time.

Xanthalian Military (land/air/sea) ranks, ordered low to high:
Land:
-Soldier
-Sargent
-Unit Commander
-Division Commander
-Land General
Air:

Xanthalian Armada (space) ranks, ordered low to high:

The representative of the armed forces is the Minister of the Armada and Military, the highest-ranking official in the Ministry. However, no offensive action may be taken by Ministry forces unless the Triumvirate and Council approve it.

Notes
I use a hodgepodge of WWII English, modern American, WWII Hungarian ranks, and a few I thought up on my own. In most cases, I haven't included the specialist ranks. (A Master Able Seaman assigned to the engineering department of a ship isn't a Master Able Seaman. He's an Engineer's Mate 1st Class, for instance, just like a Private in the Engineers isn't a Private, he's a Sapper.) I have, however, included the specialist Air Force Officer's ranks since they are so widely used.

The first rank in the series is the rank for a staff position, where as the second is a flying position. For instance, Colonel Adam Tolwyn is assigned to help the Imperial Kallistian Air Force train along Dominion standards. While he does take every opportunity he can to fly, it's a staff position, so he is called Colonel. Were he to be assigned to a fighter wing, however, his rank would change to Wing Commander, and he would be entitled to wear a different rank device. (Striped epaulettes instead of a collar pin.) He wouldn't have been promoted or demoted - He's still an O-7, but he would be refered to as Wing Commander out of respect to his position as a pilot.

Skeelzanian ranks are largely based off those of the Old-Earth militaries, with enlisted men, NCOs, and officers. The exception is the FS Army and Navy units, who go by their own ranking system.

Skeelzanian Army:
Uses same ranks as the United States Army, though the Private E-2 rank has been dropped, as well as some of the Warrent officer ranks.

Skeelzanian Navy:
Standard naval ranks (seamen->midshipmen->lieutenants->etc). In the SKZN, a Commodore is the commanding captain of a squadron where multiple captains are present and an admiral is not. This is only a temporary rank, lasting as long as the mission. Also, the Supreme Naval Commander bears the title Grand Admiral.

Skeelzanian FS (Principality Guard):
Enlisted ranks-
Footmen (various classes)
Seargents (various classes)

Nycton Navy is basicaly the same only Sergeant = Petty Officer, Colonel = Captain, General = Ensign, Marshal = Admiral.

I had them all worked out once, but have to go over them again!

Based on lots of different systems with one or two ranks removed for simplicity. (and spelling comments) Commander in chief is the highest overall, each organisation gives a commander to asist him as his most experienced aides.
Admiral in chief, High Air Marshall and Executive General.

Army

Trooper (trained in grenades rifles and pistols and bayonets only, ready for war in emergancy but not fully trained)
(to become a private some non war service is done with new troops who learn some discipline and miscleleaneous skills)

Lance Corporal (2 per squad) (tank commander)
Corporal (1 per squad, sergeants deputy)
Sergeant(squad leader)
Commsioned sergeant (platoon)
Captain (company)
Major (2 companies)
Commander (regiment)
Colonel (battalion)
General (varies but typically 2 battalions plus vehicle support varies up to an entire operation)


Airforce
Pilot
Group leader (of 4)
Squad leader
Captain
Force commander (several wings)
Air Marshall

Navy
Seaman
Able seaman
(position ie gun or anchor) officer
Petty officers (ie engineers)

Admiral (rear, vice and full)
Flag Admiral (rarely travels to sea)

Note on Enlisted Ranks
Army personnel are called either Private or Trooper, depending on whether or not they are attached to a vehicular unit. Navy personnel are called strikers until they reach the rank of E4 (Petty Officer), at which point they choose an occupational specialty and are referred to by their Occupational Specialty Rating (for example: Boatswain's Mate Petty Officer 3rd Class- often shortened to BM3).

Warrant officers are valued technical specialists from the senior enlisted ranks, given extra authority to correspond with the additional responsibilities. The Navy does not have an equivalent ranking to W3, preferring instead to commission such personnel as Ensigns (O1).

Notes on Officer ranks
Battle Commander is generally assigned to the senior officer in command of any combined unit (Navy, Army, and Air Force under one command). Such postings are generally temporary.

Fleet Marshall is rarely assigned, and refers to the uniformed officer in command of all Evil Overlord Enterprises military personnel and operations. This is a hazardous post, and few officers have survived achieving this honor. Those few that have are generally advanced out of the uniformed ranks and usually attain high positions within the EOE hierarchy.
