Introduction

Crew members of the USS Tydirium are each assigned a rank which reflects that member’s contribution to the Ship, the local Fleet and the Organisation.

Crew members are able to earn rank promotions through a system of required and elective requirements: meet the correct number of requirements, and you have earned your promotion.

Provisional Rank Progression

Commissioned Rank Progression

 

Promotions up to the grade of O-5 (Commander) are approved by the Commanding Officer.

 

Promotions from the grade of O-6 (Captain / Colonel) are approved by the Local Fleet Commander.

 

Promotions from the grade of O-7 (Fleet Captain / Brigadier) are approved by the Admiralty.

 

 

Tracking

It’s the responsibility of the individual member to keep track of the requirements he/she has met, as well as the necessary supporting documentation. When you’ve earned your promotion, bring it to the attention of your superior (in most cases your Department Chief, Second Officer, or Executive officer), and then the Commanding Officer will either grant or reject your promotion at that time.

 

Procedure

When you believe you’ve fulfilled the requirements for a promotion, please follow the following path of contact / Chain of Command.

Department Chief >> Second Officer >> First Officer >> Commanding Officer

Never go directly to the Commanding Officer to request your promotion, please follow the “Chain of Command”.

 

Rejected Promotion Requests

If your rank promotion is rejected for some reason, you may appeal the decision with the Commanding Officer. Having a rejected rank promotion will not prevent you from making successful requests in the future.

 

Demotions

Demotions are not taken lightly, the Command Staff has never demoted a member…..yet.

If a member were to violate our Fleet’s Rules and Regulations, or the laws of your local state & government. Then the Command Staff and the member’s Department Chief would hold a meeting with the member to discuss the violating
