By completing another Certification track, Serpent has earned a x1 promotion to Ensign, which makes him eligible to complete the FOCE and earn permanent officer status. The Naval High Command, however, has already seen a major, division-improving project from Serpent: namely, the awards/medals overhaul he did some months back. As such, his FOCE is considered complete, and he is therefore promoted another x1 to Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Congratulations, Lieutenant Serpent, on a well-earned rise to the officer ranks.
