Added DiffLines:

* RankUp: An especially notable one, as he goes from a non-commissioned Sergeant to a commissioned Captain between the first and second games, something that is ''extremely'' rare in the real life British Army. To give you an idea, for most units of the British Army, there is less than a ten percent chance of a member of the Other Ranks being commissioned[[note]]Only one unit has a chance in the double digits, the Small Arms School Corps, a small unit usually numbering under 200 members, who are responsible for firearms training[[/note]], with members of the combat arms usually having around a one percent chance. It shows just how skilled Soap is that he managed to do this.
