promotions

[Pace]

I have question regarding Flight Officers, is there any requirement/mandate that a Flight Officer must promote to a Commissioned Rank on turning 21 or could they chose to, remain a Flight Officer passed their 21st Birthday?

7-1. General. Only members between 18 and 20 years of age will be appointed to or promoted to the flight officer grades. This category is designed as a transition for cadets transferring to active member status and for those members who are otherwise eligible for CAP officer grade except that they have not yet reached the minimum age of 21. Upon reaching age 21, the member will be appointed to an appropriate officer grade or will be classified as a member without grade until he or she is eligible for promotion to officer grade. Since FO promotions are approved at the local levels, these grades are not recorded by National Headquarters and are not reflected on the membership card.

How hard can it be to add the FO ranks to eservices?  I think the days of not tracking it anymore is just kind of silly.  It would be helpful to know who in your Squadron/Group/Wing are eligible to promote via the reporting mechanism in eservices instead of overlooking somebody because they don't appear on the report with everyone else.
