Something is missing here. I can understand that the Chapter master and such are simply part of the First company. But what about who drive the Rhinos and Land raiders? What about Battle barges and Strike Cruisers? Surely they don't just let servitors and normal humans drive the things. Am I missing something?

Servitors and regular humans pilot the ships in space most often, w/ an SM overseer/captain of the ship.

Rhinos and such are piloted by tech-initiates according to fluff, so.. 10th company recruits showing a skill at machines?
