Warrant Officer Second Class Peter Ainsworth, Squadron Sergeant Major of B Squadron, Royal Loucester Yeomanry and the commander of Caracal IV cruiser tank "The Nutcracker VIII".
The Ainsworths hail from the bustling port city of Staton-upon-brent on the southern coast of the Eastern Provinces. Youngest of six siblings, Peter's father was a dockside worker at the port of Staton while his mother stayed at home as a homemaker.
At the age of 14, Peter moved with his uncle to help set up a motorcycle repair shop in downtown Loucester. The young boy quickly learned the trade and soon became his uncle's prized mechanic. It was also around this time that Peter built his own dirt bike from leftover parts in the shop; the first among his many steeds to be christened "The Nutcracker". He was quite fond of his handiwork and frequently used it to race local kids; that is until it was destroyed in a crash that broke both of his legs.
While Peter was recovering from the accident, his uncle decided maybe it was time to put an end to his nephew's delinquency. Perhaps an outlet to vent his steaming teenage blood, a place where his technical skill could be put to good use.
Peter fully recovered from his injuries and was discharged about a year later. With his uncle's encouragement and his parents' blessing, Peter enlisted in the Imperial Land Army at the age of 17. Despite his prior injury, Peter thrives in the highly demanding basic training and, after serving one-year compulsory national service with the 154. Line Infantry Regiment, enrolled at the renowned Armoured Fighting Vehicle School Armourtown.
Trooper Peter Ainsworth started off his long and decorated military career as a driver of a Cavalier light cruiser tank with the Royal Loucester Yeomanry. Highly enthusiastic and constantly energetic, he was promoted to the rank of Machinist (Trade specialist rank equivalent to Corporal) in no time. By the age of 21, he had completed NCO candidate school with the rank of Sergeant and was given command of his own Cavalier tank, which he nicknamed "The Nutcracker Jr" in memory of his boyhood bike.
When the Border Crisis broke out in 770, Colour Sergeant Ainsworth was serving as the Troop Sergeant of the 2nd Troop, B Squadron. Following the death of WO2 George Peterson, Sergeant Major of the B Squadron, in 771, Colour Sergeant Ainsworth was given a field warrant to fill the vacant position. In turn, his former position as 2nd Troop Sergeant was filled by his two-year NCOCS junior, Senior Sergeant J.H. Willoughby.
As a TC, Peter showed great vigour in combat and possessed a great deal of energy and initiative, which he imparts to the men he leads. In his wider duty as the Squadron Sergeant Major, Peter always kept a hands-on approach in keeping his squadron in line, frequently jumping from one position to another to make sure every man and machine was well supplied, well drilled, well disciplined, and most importantly, in the highest readiness to fight.
Some might see Peter as strict and overbearing, a devil's incarnate seeking to chew on one's less-than-regulation noggin whenever opportunity arises, but he could still strike a good humour or two from time to time. Whenever any of his squadron mates was in need, be it other ranks or officers, you can be assured he would be the first to lend a helping hand or share some helpful advice.
Peter survived the war with the rank of Warrant Officer First Class and currently serving as instructor at Armourtown, teaching young cadres the art and intricacies of modern armoured warfare. He is happily married to a beautiful otter lady by the name of Amanda Lee, and were gifted with three handsome children, two of whom are twins.
A fine selection of persona from the Royal Loucester Yeomanry, Keep in mind that a WO2 in the Imperial Land Army is basically an SNCO (E-8), much like the armies of the Commonwealth.
He is also shown wearing the final wartime version of the tank crew coverall, issued to units participating in the spring offensive under the command of Nordenfeld Invasion Force in Carrenia (NORINVFOR). Most notable change was the effort to make the dark slate green "temperate" version less conspicous by changing the metal parts from galvanized steel to blued steel and recolouring the rank insignia from light grey to medium green. there were some effort to fireproof the fabric as well, with varying degree of success.

So I'm guessing it wouldn't be a good idea to tell him he's otterly adorable? ;)
On a sidenote in your story-universe do aquatic species come under any social pressure or expectation to join naval or otherwise water-themed forces or occupations?
I guess he could fill his tank with water, but his crew may not be impressed.

Not necessarilly, but some species do have advantages in certain fields that will show up in the entrance aptitude and physical tests. Aquatic mammals for example, are naturally more likely to pass combat swimmer course than, say, an avian. Though some avian DO excel in aquatic fields (puffins and penguins are good swimmers too)
