There are NO S/O's on permanent bases.
Thanks for taking the quote out of context from the rest of the sentence.
It's true what they say about arguing on the internet. Being assessed suitable to upg to F/O does not mean that there are S/O's
on a base. There are only CN's and F/O's
on permanent bases, no assessed suitable S/O's. They still have to get through the upgrade process, apply for a base and be awarded a basing slot if one exists.
Dear G*d. I'm not one for "smileys", but this time I'll make an exception...
