Regulation 5, Chapter 1, Subsection 4

Added in a stipulation that requires every member that decides to promote another member to have obtained FEAT {Z} before they can issue the promotion.

Old:

• Officers have priority on promotions. OSEAC and Warrant Officers are required to bring E4+ promotion recommendations to the attention of an active officer to ensure personnel are recognized in a timely manner. Officer attention is not required for auto-promotions.
• An active officer is an officer actively manning a HQ station, or an officer present on the working floor
• Personnel under the rank of O4 cannot promote personnel who have not reached their RST without prior permission from an O4+ officer. If an O4+ officer approves a pre-mature RST promotion, the promoter must note who approved it in the Manual PTS or PTS post.
• RST should never be waived unless personnel are consistently performing their duties beyond requirements and expectations.
• If promoting someone by over 10% of their RST you must have OSD+ approval. Otherwise, officers ranked O4+ can waive RST with less than 10% left.
• For example, if you want to promote a PO1 with only 17 days service time, you must have OSD approval. 10% of the E7 RST is 2 days, and the gap you are bypassing is 4 days.
• Junior Officers and Warrant Officers are encouraged to converse with each other about individuals deserving of a promotion.
• If you wish to recommend someone for a promotion, please utilize the PTS Recommendation Tab found here.
• E8 ranks (E8A & E8B) are considered as one rank.
