The UFP Promotion Policy was reviewed and the new policy became effective SD 240612.03.
UFP Division Promotion Policy
Ranking systems are an integral part of our organisation and should be used carefully to recognise and reward SIMmers who dedicate themselves to the group, have high levels of SIMming skill, and who take on in character responsibility.
Below you will find a listing of ranks used within the UFP Division, along with an explanation of the requirements needed to achieve those ranks. You will also find information on NPC ranks, acting ranks, and rank transfer guidelines.

Field Commissions
Enlisted to Officer:
Field commissions from enlisted to officer ranks depend on how much time the SIMmer has served in the enlisted track. Field Commissions up to Lieutenant Commander are made at the SIM CO's discretion. Field Commissions above Lieutenant Commander require authorization from Fleet and/or Division Command.
Enlisted to Warrant Officer:
Enlisted personnel can also choose to take the warrant officer path depending on positions open. The warrant ranks are only available to enlisted personnel after Petty Officer 2nd Class (i.e. they can go from PO2 to PO1 or WO1).
Creation of New Characters
SIMmers may create new characters up to and equal to their highest ranking character. Approval of the chosen rank must be gained from the SIM CO, Fleet Command, or Division Command (depending on the rank/rate) before the character’s creation.
NPC Ranks
NPCs (Non-player Characters) can be used by SIMs and SIMmers for plot and
character development. They may not be used for career advancement.
Acting Ranks
Acting ranks will only be issued to Commanding Officers and Executive Officers of SIMmulations, and will only be granted if deemed necessary to uphold the IC chain of command on the SIM. A SIM CO may only be granted an acting rank up to Captain, and a SIM XO may only be granted an acting rank up to Commander. All acting ranks must be approved by Fleet Command.
Rank Transfers
SIMs and SIMmers entering into UCIP may request that their ranks be transferred into the organization. Rank transfers up to Lieutenant Commander require approval from the SIM CO; transfers of Commander and up require approval from both Fleet and Division Command.
