Hello command land,I have been reviewing our current courses in the Academy and as part of that I was wondering how everyone felt about the idea of giving those who graduate the Department courses a promotion to Lieutenant or lieutenant junior grade.
My thoughts behind this is that graduating from one of the courses and being given that rank boost puts newer players in a good position to apply form or be considered for department head places, also we have done this previously for graduates of the courses.
Also those who show proficiency in departments as cadets and graduate to DH are rewarded with the lt jg rank so why should we not reward course graduates too.
Technically they aren’t Lt. J.G. Academy ship ranks other than cadet do not count towards member rank.
(please note in not currently discussing the state or if the courses are fit for purpose or whatever of the courses, I’m going on the premise we have them and people are taking them and graduating. That feels like a totally different discussion)
In interested in hearing peoples thoughts on this.

I don’t think I have any reasons to object to this suggestion, though I believe doing this would require a bylaw change (to MOO I believe, possibly to CADET).

I’m not sure it would require a change to MOO that I can see. Could you point out specifically where you think this would need changed? It probably would require a change to CADET and I think that we should also take away the Academy ship ranks other than cadet do not count towards member rank too.
Calé
The proposal creates what I see as an exception to how MOO defines ranks below captain. Possibly it would suffice to only put that exception in the CADET bylaw.
I’m in favor of that change to Academy ship ranks counting. I think that would be a very appropriate change, especially in the case of graduating cadets who stay on as DH.
One thing that we should keep in mind in the case of promotions related to courses is that sometimes cadets are the ones who take them. I think in the case of a cadet we’d need their promotion to go into effect after they graduate.
Adam W.
Yeah I think MOO could be left alone but CADET would need changed. And yes once cadets have graduated i agree.
