LoL. Bungie needs to go back and do some research.... If the "Rookie" enlisted in 47 and the events at New Mombasa took place in 52.... thats a loooongg time to be a lance corporal.
I know we're talking about space Marines here but everything from E-1 to E-3 is an automatic promotion based on time in grade and time in service. Merit/fitness reports don't come into play until you get ready to become an NCO.
The only explanation I can think of for a 5 year lance would be someone who got busted down in rank.
