The following steps assume that the person already has a “cadet” record. To commission a cadet users will need to change the person type, commissioning date and rank. Start by changing the person type:
Open the cadet record.
Go to the Personal Information screen.
Edit the person type by clicking the “Expand“ button.
Click the “Add” button.
Select the new person type “Officer”.
Set the start date (commissioning date).
Optionally, add a comment.
Click “Add” to save the new person type.
The new “officer” person type will be listed.

Users do NOT need to end the “Cadet” person type before adding the “Officer” person type. When a new person type is added OMS will automatically end the previous one. |

Go to the Service Dates screen.
Notice that there will now be a commissioning date (was generated when the person type was set).
If the commissioning date is in the future, the adjusted service date and length of service will be blank until the commissioning date has arrived.
Scroll down to the promotions section and click “Promote”.
Select the new rank of “Lieutenant“.
Set both the “Due Date” and “Received Date”.
These will both usually be the commissioning date.
Optionally, add a comment or private comment.
Click “Apply Promotion” to save the new rank.
All that is left is to appoint the newly commissioned officer to an appointment. Do this via the Appointment screen or Officer Moves module.
