King's Own: calvary/police group answering to the king, whose members serve as royal bodyguards and as protective troops throughout the realm. Their Knight Commander is Lord Sir Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak. The ranks are filled by younger sons of noble houses, Bazhir, and the sons of wealthy merchants. The Own is made of three companies of one hundred fighters each, in addition to the servingmen, who care for supplies and remounts. First Company, a show company, traditionally provides palace bodyguards and security for the monarchs. Under Lord Raoul, Second and Third Company are added and dedicated to active service away from the palace, helping to guard the realm. - Trickster's Choice Glossary
[Of course, on VT events have progressed and the Knight COmmander is no longer Raoul, but Wayne of Malorie's Peak]
Stages: Ordinary Soldier, then Corporal, then Sergeant. It's easier if you get a commission, then you get to be Sergeant or even Captain.

Here, in VT, your character may be submitted as a fully-fledged soldier, or a rookiee. Regarding Training soldier, when they feel they want to become an official member of the Own, you can PM Claw of myself.
