Well, you should be careful. After the Civil War, there were no longer as many slots in the Army and officers who stayed in had to revert to their pre-war ranks. Custer was a lieutenant colonel, if I recall. However, he would go by "brevet" Major General.
A poem from the book "Life in Custer's Cavalry":
As Captain Forbes walked off parade
Sam Green inquiringly said
"Pray tell me, Cap, and tell me true
Why all those officers in blue
Walk up and touch their caps to you.
They've leaves and eagles, them 'ere chaps
Whilst you've but bars upon your straps".
"Why, Sam" said Forbes. "You must be green.
The answer's plainly to be seen.
My straps, so humble in their place
Are worth the value on their face.
But leaves and eagles pay no debts.
Those officers are all brevets."
Said Sam, "That puzzles me, you bet.
Tell me, Cap, what's a 'brevet'?"
"Well, Sam, to put it through your pate,
You listen whilst I illustrate.
See yon turkey on the fence?
He's turkey, Sam, in every sense.
Yon turkey buzzard in the tree
He's 'brevet' turkey. Do you see?
A turkey has some value, Sam.
A buzzard isn't worth a damn."

Brevet:
"A former type of military commission conferred especially for outstanding service, by which an officer was promoted to a higher rank without the corresponding pay.
‘a brevet lieutenant’"
Custer was a Brevet Major General at the end of the Civil War, although by pay grade he was a Captain. He was mustered out with the rest of his unit at the end of the war. He rejoined the army in 1866 with the rank of Lt Colonel and he still held that rank at the time of his death.

Custer isn't the only dashing, reckless officer to choose from.
There is Dan Sickles. He killed the son of the author of the Star Spangled banner for having an affair with his wife. At Gettysburg, against the orders of General Meade ("Old Snapping Turtle"), he deployed his III Corps in an exposed position, and was severely wounded in the ensuing fire fight (the unit was "destroyed"). He was carried off the field with a cigar between his teeth so the troops wouldn't think he was killed, and lost a leg. After the war, he served as ambassador to Spain, was rumored to have slept with Queen Isabella II, and almost started a war with his emotional dispatches to Washington.
There is also the independent, fearless Lakota hero Crazy Horse (Thasunjte Witko) who beat Custer in the summer of 1876. After a surprise attack on their winter camp by Nelson Miles' (another story) 5th Infantry trudging through deep snow in January of 1877 that destroyed most of their equipment and supplies, his band spent a difficult winter with the band of his friend He Dog. Convinced his people would be wiped out in the war, Crazy Horse came onto the reservation in the spring. He had a difficult time dealing with it, however, and was killed being taken into custody in September, 1877. It is said that his parents buried his heart somewhere in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
(Mark Twain has a story in which General Miles' dog is sold three times.)
You give outstanding service, so you get extra work and responsibilities,
but no extra pay? Tell me about it....

A 'brevet rank' is just a honour rank without responsabilities authority, nor pay.You give outstanding service, so you get extra work and responsibilities,
but no extra pay? Tell me about it....
An officer with a so called 'acting rank', gets a temporary promotion, with authoritiy, responsability and pay of that rank.

If you run out of juice, just raise the radio antenna, sit in the car, and wait for a lightning bolt.
