Well, after almost 3 years as a SM and flight officer I have officially turned to the "super dark side" (as my now wing king once put it). NHQ posted my 1st Lt promotion yesterday :D
Now to collect my bonus check...
Yay!
You can drive a van no matter who's in it!

Just remember you have to fill out the form on EService for them.
No one told me at first, so it took awhile for me to get them. Although, the coffee is nice and easy to find.
Congratulations on the leap in to the fun side of CAP! :clap: It's a great experience.
They keep the secret cookies stash with the extra flight line and prop wash.

Debating rank among lieutenants is like debating virtue in a brothel.

My 21st birthday was on a Wednesday, but my boss did buy lunch ;D.
I can barely remember when I was 21. I do recall that I had just graduated from college and was a real 2/lt in the US Army.
how do you skip the butter bar? Congrats, im looking for an SLS course to attend soon.

Promotions to a higher grade can be made for special skills (CFIs, Health professional, Legal professionals, Chaplains, etc.) that, depending on the skill and the level of the outside certifications the person has, can mean appointments to directly to 1st Lt, Capt, and Maj.
Promotions can also be made based on prior cadet or flight officer experience + CAP PD. So a cadet who completed the Earhart Award as a cadet (less than 5% of cadets make it that far) can be appointed to 1st Lt if they become a senior member and are 21. A cadet who completes the Spaatz (less than 1% of cadets) can be appointed to Captain. Cadets who convert to senior member status before turning 21 can also complete CAP Professional Development Levels and earns higher Flight Officer grades, with time-in-grade, can be eligible for promotion directly to 2dLt, 1st Lt, or Captain upon turning 21 (and being approved, obviously).
Members who earned senior enlisted, warrant officer, or commissioned officer rank in the Armed Forces are also eligible for certain advanced promotions. Commissioned officers up to Lt Col get appointed to their Armed Forces rank. There are "conversion charts" for E-7 and above, and warrant officers.
There are also a few other special scenarios for advanced promotions (Legislative Officers, Government Relations Officers, and a few others come to mind).
In the case of the user you were referring to, I think it was a cadet-experience-related promotion.
In my case, I was a senior flight officer, which jumps to 1st Lt when you turn 21 unless you have enough TIG, then you go to Capt.
Ahh, ok. I should have worded it better ;D. I was refering to how you go promoted, but i see you answered my question. Congrats, i know you are going to weat it proud. People always ask what rank I am, I always joke around and say SM, which stands for Sergant Major, lol. I think i have 5 months untill i pick up the butter.
Welcome, my young apprentice... 8)
