And I've tended to assume that there is (or at least can be) this sort of distinction in the Lunar army, too. Partly because the Lunar army I know is very heavily Roman in bias, partly just because it makes for fun gaming. The very young and inexperienced officer (PC) with the very experienced centurion NPC/sidekick. Yes, it's a cliché. And why not?
