In 1847 James entered the Royal Academy and began his ten year long military training. During his time at the academy James is remarked as a diligent student, yet also a defiant one. He frequently argued with his teachers in his military strategy classes. In 1857 when he graduated the academy he was assigned to the 13th division in the 1st army acting as a colonel. His first notable act in the military was the creation of a new Bretislavian uniform to grant less visibility to the enemy, yet still maintaining its royal symbolism. His time in the military also saw the introduction of an 18 round lever action rifle (C.C. Repeating Rifle) to the service, and a 6 round double action revolver (C.C. Army Revolver M80).
