Military Rankings
Military Rankings Explained
Alright since everyone still seems a bit confused about the military rankings let me explain it a bit further.
Note in this link to my profile you can see the military ranking system, please refer to it as you read my explanation.

First scroll down so that you can see from Sergeant to Brigadier.
To the right of the Officer Ratings there is a bubble with a number in it. If you have obtained said "Skill"(Level) in ANY of the ranked modes then you will be able to move up to the next officer rating. For example Take a look at Lieutenant and Gunnery Sergeant, there are 2 grades skipped in both of them. The reason these were skipped is because I had obtained the corresponding "Skill"(Level) in any of the modes and then garnered the correct amount of experience to go along with it. For instance since I have already gotten level 30, once I get 200 experience I will become a major, if I had not yet achieved level 30 then my next rank up would be at 300 experience and it would be Grade 3 Captain....So as you can see it is a combination of "skill"(Level) and matches played that furthers your military ranking.
*note* Highlighted numbers of Skill have already been achieved
Skill/Level are interchangeable in the following paragraph
(Uncertainty)
One thing I'm somewhat uncertain about is what would happen if you never gained the appropriate level to become the next rank or if you gained the level after already obtaining more experience....However my guess would be that once you had the appropriate level it would bump your rank up....or if you never had the level that you could be stuck at that rank grade 4 forever...Although it is possible there is a higher rank than General it is not yet on the Bungie site so I'm not going to speculate further about it...Hope my rambling helped you fellas out.
