Kind of looks like Mr. horse in this, "No sir I don't like it."

^ Nope, they do not.
And officers don't call each other "soldier."
It would be "Sir" or "[Rank] [Name]" e.g. "Major Scope."

The Equestrian military I'm going for is ye olde school. "Soldier" is the catch-all term for members of the Royal Guard. Branches are not separated into a modern Army/Navy/Air Force pattern.

Knights are the (rough) equivalent of officers and "Captain of the Guard" is the highest attainable rank (in peace time). Captains often have their own squads and have special duties (like Aqui being a guardian of Princess Celestia specifically), but their rank and authority is recognized by all members of the Guard.

Major Scope's rank falls outside the canon of "Ask Aquilinus." I've had questions about the "Sergeant" pony in #5, so I intend to explore the military hierarchy in a future comic.
