Second Lieutenant
Ensign
noun
Someone who's only been a military officer for a few years hasn't been able to get very far in the ranks. They're an ensign, or a second lieutenant. That's still not a bad position to be in!
This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.
