===Civils, Combatives, Exclusive, and Miscellaneous===
You can only be in 1 civil and 1 combative, and as many miscellaneous as you want or you can be in 2 civils and as many miscellaneous as you want. You can look at the chart to see what counts as combatives, civils, and miscellaneous. Exclusive departments simply means they do not have constantly open applications, unlike ScD, MD, or SD.
Civils and combatives are considered "unspecialized" departments, miscellaneous departments are considered "specialized".
