Starfleet Promotion

From WNOHGB Wiki

Within Starfleet, there is an Minimum Time Served (MTS) requirement before either an officer or an enlisted person can be considered for promotion to the next senior rank. For exceptional personnel, it's always possible for this requirement to be overlooked, but those exceptions are rare.

OOC: A note about promotion: Those players that exhibit skill and regular activity will see a faster track through Ensign --> Lieutenant (jg) --> Lieutenant. Those players who are considered active will fall under the normal MTS requirements for promotion. Once a player reaches LT, MTS comes into effect. Keep in mind 2 months RL == 1 Year IC. And that is only one requirement for promotion. Others to consider are activity, shown leadership skills, superior officer recommendation, and org admin prerogative.
