=== Training Branch ===
Upon enlistment, every enlistee starts in the Training Branch, and upon completion, they are offered a chance to choose what branch they would like to go into. Students of the Republican Military Academy may skip service in this branch, as being a student in the Military Academy is considered service to the general branch.
