Expertise Skill
In addition to the general skill score, every player has a distinct “expertise skill”score. A Player’s expertise is the position (e.g. Sniper, Trooper, ABE etc.) in which he has achieved the largest portion of his skill points. The expertise skill reflects a player’s mastery with a specific position.
Ranks

In Rising Eagle, a player can advance from the rank of Private to the rank of Major.Up to Master Chief rank, advancement is simply a matter of achieving the necessary skill points.
