I enter ranks under Events, for example Event: Military Description: Promotion to Sergeant Date: 3 Jun 1864 Place: Leavenworth, Leavenworth, Kansas, USA
I do not normally enter ranks as a title, unless it carried over into civilian life.

I was thinking of placing my ancestors' military ranks in the "Title Prefix" field on the Individual's Information screen. Mostly it's to remind me of their military service, but is it an acceptable place for the designation? I'm thinking along the lines of "Private Moses Gilbert". It's not used as a regular form of address. Higher ranking titles, I suppose, would be a way of showing respect for that person's service. I do have my GEDCOM posted on Rootsweb, so the info would be visible to the public. Just looking for proper protocol....
