[No. 82

All officers entered under this scheme will serve a year on
probation, service in the navy as Royal Naval Reserve officer
counting as such.

Sub-lieutenants will be eligible for promotion to lieutenant
after two years' service, including one year's probationary
service; but power is reserved to the Admiralty to appoint
them as acting-lieutenants at any period of their service.

In the case of officers who may not have fulfilled the
service required by the regulations of the Board of Trade for
examination for master, promotion will be subject to their
passing such examination as may be agreed upon between
the Admiralty and the Board of Trade.

Although borne on this supplementary list, any lieutenant
may be promoted to the active list of commanders by the
Admiralty for distinguished service during war operations.

Rates of full pay, half-pay, and retired-pay will be as
shown in Tables A, B, and C below.

At the discretion of the Admiralty, a lieutenant on re-
tirement may be granted such honorary rank as may be
considered desirable.

Pensions for hurts and wounds, widows' pensions, com-
passionate allowances to children, will be at the same rate
and under the same conditions as those granted to officers
of the Royal navy of corresponding rank.

Officers joining from the Royal Naval Reserve will cease
to be entitled to retaining-fees.

The full equipment grant of £30 will be given to sub-
lieutenants and £40 to lieutenants in consideration of their
having to obtain naval uniform, provided that they have not
received any outfit allowance on appointment to one of Her
Majesty's ships for training within the two years immediately
preceding the date of entry on the supplementary list.

An officer who has received outfit allowance within such
two years on appointment for training will receive only half
the equipment grant, or the difference between what he has
already received and the full rate.
