Well, to even get in, you have to pass years of training in the academy. If you're not willing to fight, there's really no point in even trying. But it's worth it, if you've got reasons or somethin' to protect.

After graduating, placement generally depends on your skills. Then you advance form there depending on how good you are, how good you think you can get, and how much ambition you have.
