Requirement

8.0.5.5. The board of review date is the rank's effective date

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Has the board been held, and how did it go?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Not the date the paperwork is filed, and not the date of the court of honor. The date the board sat is the date the rank takes effect.

Warning. The rank is effective the day the board sat, not the day the paperwork was processed or the court of honor was held. Getting this wrong shifts tenure and can affect what the Venturer is eligible for next.
