Was the opposite condition for me. The reserve position required a rank above Lt (N) so started as an Officer Cadet and took a two week course and bang was a ASLt, two more week course and boom SLt and so on. Did it in a year an a half. Looked funny as hell to be that rank with my one lonely UN Peackeeping ribbon and clasp. Canada doesn't give out ribbons like crazy so they are rare to start with but to not even have the 12 year service one looked odd.
