I mean, if Handsome Jack--he's our Alpha and very good at what he does--still hasn't made Admin after five years, it's pretty likely that they're purposely keeping us outsiders from the higher spots.

[He shrugs.]

It's worth it to rank up, though. While most of us live outside the base as soon as we can afford it, the free accommodations for those who don't want to do that does scale with rank. Grunts like you get old-fashioned dormitory rooms that sleep six, Privates only have to share with two others, Betas get our own rooms, and Alphas have their own little suites. Plus your stipend goes as well. And Betas and Alphas can take the good positions on the job board like security and recruit training and managing our gambling establishments.
