That's exactly what I did, although common sense was applied and my 1s and 5s were ranked at Fg Off from the start. I was a Plt Off for less than a week, all of which I spent on leave...
There was a chap who joined us from SERE who graduated as a Sqn Ldr, he went from calling flt cdrs sir to the reverse in the course of one parade...
