Hi LJ, long time no speak.
Simple answer - I do not know. The tri-service regulations that detail when and where an RoS can be implemented do not cover these situations. Manning issued their own instructions that state that ACOS Manning can introduce an RoS for anything he likes. Since you PVR'd and ran to hear your own bell they have introduced a promotion RoS that you have to sign to receive your promotion. This stops people from doing as you did. They also introduced a post-command RoS to stop people bailing out once they finish an OF4 command tour.
As ever, the more they tighten their grip the more personnel slip through their fingers.
