ROYAL NEW ZEALAND NAVAL VOLUNTEER RESERVE OFFICERS Confirmation and Promotion in Time of War (N.A. 9/12/6)
The rules for promotion and confirmation of Royal New Zealand Naval Volunteer Reserve Officers in time of war have been revised and consolidated and are issued herewith for information.
2. In the Schedules appended to this Navy Order—
Schedule A contains the rules for confirmation and promotion of all R.N.Z.N.V.R. officers entered or promoted prior to lst May, 1943:
Schedule B contains the rules for confirmation and promotion of all R.N.Z.N.V.R. officers entered or promoted on or after lst May, 1943, with retrospective provision for promotion to the rank of Acting Sub-Lieutenant :
Schedule C contains the rules under which Junior Reserve Officers may be recommended for accelerated promotion.
3. The names of officers who are eligible for promotion should be reported to the Naval Board, certifying the date on which each of the requirements has been satisfied. Officers not recommended for confirmation or promotion when qualified by age and service are to be the subject of a special report accompanied by form S. 206. (Attention is drawn to paragraph 4 of C.A.F.O. 1312/40.)
4. (a) The naval watchkeeping certificate is to be worded as follows :—
“ [Rank], [name], is competent to take charge of a watch at sea as a Lieutenant, and to perform efficiently the duties of that rank.”
(b) Where a Commanding Officer does not feel justified in awarding the full naval watchkeeping certificate, as shown above, a restricted certificate may be awarded by the addition of a paragraph to the following effect :—
“ 2. This certificate is granted for [insert class of vessels] only.”
(c) Where the additional paragraph referred to above is added, the certificate will not be regarded as a full naval watchkeeping certificate, and the notation (W/K) will not appear against the officer’s name in the Navy List.
(d) Copies of watchkeeping certificates awarded are to be forwarded at the time of the award or with the recommendation for promotion if at the time of the award the officer is due for promotion .
5. Henceforth no R.N.Z.N.V.R. officer, Executive Branch, will be promoted to the confirmed rank of Lieutenant in the Executive Branch unless in possession of a watchkeeping certificate, irrespective of the officer’s age or date of entry.
Where officers have not had an opportunity of qualifying for a naval watchkeeping certificate owing to the exigencies of the Service, this requirement for promotion may be dispensed with if they are certified by their Commanding Officers as competent to carry out in an efficient manner the duties upon which they are employed. In such cases, officers without watchkeeping certificates will be promoted to Acting-Lieutenant only, and will be eligible for the confirmed rank of Lieutenant on obtaining a watchkeeping certificate, and seniority as such will be antedated to the date of promotion to the acting rank. The same rate of pay applies both to the acting and confirmed rank.
6. The naval watchkeeping certificate is to be granted by the Commanding Officer of the ship in which the officer is serving except in the case of minor war vessels, where the watchkeeping certificate is to be granted by the appropriate administrative authority.
NOTE.—All seagoing vessels in the R.N.Z.N. other than the cruisers are to be regarded as minor war vessels.
7. In future, ratings promoted from the lower deck will, if under nineteen and a half years, be promoted to Midshipman or, if over nineteen and a half years, to Acting Sub-Lieutenant or relative rank. Candidates entered direct from civil life as officers will normally, if under nineteen and a half years, be appointed as Probationary Temporary Midshipman in their appropriate branch or, if over
