I'm new to the JO FITREP (pilot) process and have some basic questions:
In general discussions about promotions/career and someone says they were a "Fleet MP", does that mean they detached as a 1/1 MP, or that they were an MP on their final competitve FITREP? My understanding is that LT competitive FITREPS are only done once, maybe twice a year with a CoC, so...you're telling me that if I'm junior enough in the pack to get an MP for the competitive cycle and my PRD/checkout is prior to the next competitive FITREP, I'm forced to walk out as a "Fleet MP" and screwed for O4 (EVEN if I get a 1/1 Detach EP)?
Sorry for the noob question, but based on my understanding above, the FITREP process seems like it can easily screw over decent guys. Is this actually how it works?
