-A typical REAPER Shift is structured much like one would encounter at a factory or a office building and revolves around a Standard 24hour time frame which is further divided into 12 hours of work, 4 for personal time, 8 hours for rest. There are no 'days off' as would be conventionally expected from working a job. They're a standing Paramilitary force, and behave as such.

 Rank among the Salvage marines is divided along the lines of a standing army.
-The current rank structure consists of
-Captain
-st Lieutenant / (Pilot: Senior Warrant Officer)
-nd Lieutenant / (Pilot: Warrant Officer)
-Sergeant (Drill Sergeant*)
-Corporal (Drill Corporal*)
-Specialist
-Private
-Recruit*
-*Note: with the Exception of Drills, Recruit is not a rank, a Drill rank will revert to their previous non-drill rank after a 4 year attachment as training cadre.
+The current rank structure consists of: [Marine Rank / Logistics equivalent]
+Captain [Senior Shift Leader]
+st Lieutenant / (Pilot: Senior Warrant Officer) [Executive Officer]
+nd Lieutenant / (Pilot: Warrant Officer) [Junior shift Leader]
+Sergeant/Boss*1 (Drill Sergeant*2) [Team Leader]
+Corporal (Drill Corporal*) [Assistant Team Leader]
+Specialist [Supply Specialist/Armory Specialist etc... to denote area of specialty]
+Private [None]
+Recruit*2
 While Aboard ship the 'Captain' takes a 'demotion' to Major in order to prevent any confusion among crew or Marines. A Captain of a ship of the line is the highest power aboard any ship and as such, even though 'Major' is a technical rank above, it is still considered a step down in rank and sign of respect towards any ships commander.
+*1Note: Unofficial title used by marines in passing, Sergeants/Boss's tend to be the highest level most marines will interact with in a typical environment. Can also be used to denote any rank above Sergeant depending upon context: 'Boss Sarn said we're krumpin' these freeloading pirates today, scrappin' their ships an' that's final, so quit bitchin' and ready up them demo charges, Private!' "Yes, Boss..."
+*2Note: With the Exception of Drills, Recruit is not a rank, a Drill rank will revert to their previous non-drill rank after a 4 year attachment as training cadre.
