Hornetguy et. al.,
When did promotion to 1LT and CAPT take on promotion line numbers? That would be the "not all on the same day" you describe.
At my last "look-see" all 1LT's were promoted on the same day, as were all CAPT selects. Only upon reaching selection for Field Grade (Major - Colonel) were you assigned a "line number" and that was what determined when you were actually allowed to pin-on the new grade.
When I was promoted to 1LT and CAPT, it was simply the anniversary of my commissioning to 2LT: 1 JUN 83 to 2LT, 1 JUN 85 to 1LT, 1 JUN 87 to Captain. Pin-on was that same day.
So...has it changed?
