It should be noted that the majority of player characters who have been given ranks was the result of fanon. Typically, the military rank of the player character is never addressed, as was the case with Mobius 1. Cipher certainly never had a rank, and I don't believe Gryphus One did either. Blaze obviously had a rank until Wardog Squadron was disbanded, and Colonel William Bishop... well. Colonel. xD So the idea that Mobius 1 didn't have a declared rank isn't uncommon to the series; it's more common.
