caramelsilver is still hosting the Three-Sentence Ficathon. So I ficced some more.

Title: Proud to Serve
Rating: PG
Summary: Dean was raised a soldier, but he was born a general.
Word Count: 180

In the Winchester Marine Corps, John is the captain, Dean the first sergeant, Sam the staff sergeant; in the Winchester family, sometimes Dean and Sam are big and little brother, and sometimes Dean is the mother and Sam—okay, yes, the spoiled brat. Disobedience spells death—Dean learned that when he was ten, and he's damned lucky Sammy lived—and there's never been anything Dean could deny Sammy; Dean might (finally) learn to question John's orders, and arguing with Sam is half the fun, but he'll follow one or both until the twelfth of never.

Dean's been an acting first lieutenant since John disappeared and Sam came home with master-sergeant chevrons, and captain to Sam's first lieutenant since John's death, but without John, they're not the Winchester Marines, they're brother-mother and brother-son and try though Dean might to act otherwise Sam runs the show; Dean doesn't reconnect with the soldier side of himself until Lucifer walks the earth, when he proves he was born to be neither a soldier nor a noncommissioned officer (and sure as fuck not a civilian) but a general.

Nice! Your analogy is spot-on. And I love your writing style!
