I have a suggestion. As a veteran of the first Remorhaz ground invasion, and four other drops since, isn't it about time that Private Renton earned a promotion? What did he do, sleep with the Captains wife or something?

How many slots have opened up in the chain of command? Judging from the current mortality rates of the marines, not many. Maybe once we see some nastier ground battles with more losses on the Remorhaz side, I can see this happening. As it is, everyone who survived the combat drops would be in the same boat as Renton.

Of course, maybe if he just went from Private to Private First Class, or something, that might work.
