But then again, my knowledge of the FTRS brigade is they are mainly deskbound commissioned types, so no surprise there.
Continuance, or Extended Service (EXTS) as its dark blue equivalent was known, sometimes threw up some curious anomalies.
A friend of mine discovered, all within a reasonably short space of time, that he had not been promoted from three stripes to four on his last shot, was awarded the OBE, took up what he thought was his final appointment, then was selected for EXTS and given an acting fourth stripe when this post was upgraded.
And he stayed in post long enough to qualify for the full higher pension, and the honorary higher rank on retirement.
