MOSTAFA - you were not promoted to 2Lt. On commissioning you (briefly) left the service and were COMMISSIONED as my boss pointed out to me when I moaned "What was the use of being promoted to Flying Officer" or some such during one of our career interviews. This, BTW, from a guy who manoeuvred acting rank for me in order to post me to FI Ops tour, told me to get my mess dress re-ranked and then to attend a graduation of my students and then, as PMC, fined me a bottle of port as the acting rank was not effective until I stepped on the Tri*. What a w****r!
