Do Tribunes join army without experience?
#2
With Tribunes it was very much a class system where a Tribunis Laticlavus was the senior of all tribunes and had the birth rite for command in some way eventually, then the tribunes Augusticlavii would be selected by the Emperor from the Equestrian ranks of society.
With centurians the ultimate goal would be to make it to Primus Pilus a rank that lasted one year before retirement, but if a Praefectus Castorum should die a Primus Pilus could very well fill a dead mans shoes but this was a rank all the way to the bitter end.
