1. What kind of rank structure... Air Force-like, or Navy - like.
2. Will members have to travel Space - A?
3. What will the duty uniform look like, and should they go ahead and start planning the inevitable change in pattern or color now to be ahead of the game
4. Will potential officers be called Space Cadets?
5. How will lieutenants handle land nav in 3 dimensions instead of 2?

Since our President has decided it will be a separate service from the AF, I suggest we compromise with Navy enlisted rank and AF officer rank

Lt Col Charlie Brown I like your idea about the rank structure. The Space Force enlisted personnel will be mostly "technicians" of various types. Like the other services, all Terra-based services will be contracted out so Space Force won't need people to mow grass, cook food, clean buildings, etc. They will need contracting officers and technicians, space operators, and space logisticians. My recommendation for enlisted ranks:
E-1 Space Recruit, "Recruit"
E-2 Apprentice, "Apprentice"
E-3 Technician "Technician" or "Tech"
E-4 Lead Technician "Lead"
E-5 Senior Lead Technician "Lead"
E-6 Supervisor "Supervisor" or "Supe"
E-7 Senior Supervisor "Supervisor" or "Supe"
E-8 Superintendent "Superintendent"
E-9 Chief Technician "Chief"
Officer Ranks would be the same as the Army, Air Force, and Marines (majority rules), but some titles might change. For example the whole "captain" thing could rear its head again in Space Force. What do you call the officer in charge of a space vehicle? Navy tradition would lead to calling her or him "captain" even if her or his rank is Major. The Navy almost solved this by making O-3 "Lieutenant" and O-6 "captain", a grade at which an officer should command something. Chioce is to not use "captain" as a job title and keep it for O-3 or to come up with new rank titles for O-1 thorugh O-3 to avoid the problem. I vote to refer to the person in charge of a space vehicle as "Commander". If you don't use "commander" for O-5 then the confusion is ended.
Uniform basic color is the same as the true color of space when seen from outside the Earth's atmosphere, black. The "NASA Blue" used in their flight suits could be used as the second color in unit patches, uniform decoration (stripes or piping), etc.

Here is the inevitable uniform! LMAO
Structure? I figured they would follow the Space Marine Halo example.
"Space" A, eh!
Space Cadets. Aren't they now?!
Land Nav! I think the series/movie "Lost in Space" answers that one. Playing Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"! Hahaha
All to funny!

1. Yes.
2. Well, it is the military.
3. I'm thinking something tasteful befitting any chapter of the Adeptus Astartes (except ultra marines. They look like roided out smurfs).
4. Naturally.
5. I'd assume tethering them to the nearest E7 would probably work.
