In the Navy, one can be advanced in rank in a "frocked" status meaning that they are awarded with wearing the uniform and insignia of the higher rank, and the responsibilities this higher rank entails, but they will still collect the pay of their lower rank until they are no longer frocked. This can take several months.

Ditto, I was frocked and it took 6 months to make it official.

To those who have so far joined the discussion with serious thought and commentary, A BIG THANK YOU. This is what FR is all about. For the others, that prefer insults and namec-alling, I’d ask why, but don’t want to invite more of your distraction in an otherwise informative thread. Maybe you’ll reflect upon what you missed while dissing your fellow Freepers.
