BREVET RANKS
ADDITION
(Reference:
FO 3844 BREVET RANKS)
The size and scope of International Management continues to grow.
As a result, there are additional posts in command positions which warrant the assignment of brevet rank to thus maintain the command chain of rank at_ each echelon of management.
Such rank is bestowed on the heads (senior most positions) over sectors, functions, and orgs.
Hence the following additions are made to the list of brevet ranks given in FO 3844, BREVET RANKS:
| INSPECTOR GENERAL | Captain (four stripes) |
| INSPECTOR GENERAL N/W SECTOR INSPECTORS |
Commander (three stripes) |
| SECTOR SUPERVISION EXECS CMOI | Commander (three stripes) |
| SNR C/S INT CO INCOMM INT FIN DIR LRH PR N/W EXEC INT |
Commander (three stripes) |
| SHIP CAPTAIN | Lieutenant Commander (two and a half stripes) |
| LRH COMM, FBO, FR, RTC REP Continental and at S.O. orgs |
Lieutenant (two stripes) |
Brevet ranks are limited only to those covered above and in FO 3844, Brevet Ranks.
This FLAG ORDER supersedes any previous issue, other than FO 3844, assigning a post or posts brevet rank .
ADVANCEMENT IN RANK
It should be understood that a brevet rank is actually a temporary assignment of rank, for a person whose post requires greater authority
For example, for someone holding a permanent rank of Midshipman assigned a brevet rank of Lieutenant for a certain post, it can go one of two ways:
(a) He actively demonstrates the production level and responsibility level expected of that post and rank, and earns advancement in permanent rank from the OSB up to and eventually beyond the rank of Lieutenant; or
(b) He does not demonstrate the production level or responsibility level expected of that post, does not earn promotions to higher permanent rank, and in due course this comes to the attention of the OSB who looks into his post performance and, where warranted , requests a Comm Ev on the person (which could result in removal from that post and consequently the loss of that brevet rank) .
PENALTY
No person holding a post other than those specifically given in FO 3844 and FLAG ORDERs issued expressly by the International Officer Selection Board is authorized to wear a brevet rank . Wearing a brevet rank not bestowed or illegally claimed is actionable as a crime under the heading of "Impersonating an S.O. Officer".
ENFORCEMENT
The International Officers Selection Board and their representatives police the wearing of authorized Officer or Rating insignia.
Local Officer Councils are also to enforce the above with reports sent regarding offenders to the Sea Org Image Officer and International Officer Selection Board.
Wear your rank well by setting the high ethical and productive standards that are the hallmark of true Sea Org Officers.
