Second Lieutenant > First Lieutenant > Captain > Major > Lieutenant Colonel > Colonel

You must go in order. If you refuse the first position, you refuse the rest. You cannot be a Colonel until you've gone through all the positions and you are willing to be a Colonel. You cannot change your mind after you've refused the position. Being a Staff member is a privilege and if you do refuse it, the chance will be lost forever. A Colonel, or an Inquisitor will PM you if you have the chance to be promoted.
