Lieutenancy Change

The other day at Officers' Councils (Connections 07 event), it was announced that the following (thanks Stephen & Aaron - ArmyBarmy) is official....

"We've read at IHQ site that non-commissioned lieutenancy is ending. Apparently, in March 08, the current system will end and newly commissioned officers will receive the rank of lieutenant."
"The rank of Lieutenant is being reintroduced as a commissioned officer's rank as of March 1, 2008. All cadets coming out of training will be given this rank, and will hold it for at least 5 years (barring promotion by the General, or promotion ot Glory).They will be re-examining the current rank of Lieut. for non-commissioned officers."

The full announcement can be found at the rubicon.

Despite the obvious discussion about whether it is a bad/good decision... It was shared that a rank for the soon-to-be-nameless-'Lieutenants' hasn't been decided on yet... Got any suggestions???

I like 'Adjutant' - hard to say, not sure what it was used for, but it's different, so I like it ;o)
