Can anyone verify that attendance of a military academy is required for achieving 1st Lt? This doesn't sound right to me. Can't a 2nd Lt can receive promotion to 1st Lt?

This must be wrong, otherwise nobody commissioned through ROTC could ever get off the bottom rung. -- Necrothesp 22:09, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Gentlemen - and Ladies - it is indeed WRONG. Colin Powell - he is a great example of this - was the first ROTC graduate to achieve supreme rank. He got his BA at the City University of New York's City College, and completed their ROTC Program in June of 1958. He had a 2LT appointment date of June 9, 1957. He was promoted to 1LT on December 30, 1959, and continued to be promoted.SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 14:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
