Honorverse
In peacetime, an Ensign would have received a commission after graduating from Saganami Island Academy. Enlisted personnel could "go Mustang"[1] and be recommended to go to the Academy to become an officer. In times of emergency, Fleet Officer Candidate Schools and accelerated Academy programs can promote enlisted personnel to commissioned ranks. .[2]
