Brevet Ranks[edit]

A brevet promotion is not "honorary" as is indicated in the article, but rather a temporary increase in rank, typically granted out of necessity during wartime, and does not confer a permanent pay raise (e.g. for retirement purposes). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.143.16 (talk) 00:41, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
