In the U.S. military this is not true. People graduating from OCS, ROTC, or one of the academies start off at O-1 (2nd Lieutenant).

- learc83 8y agoWhat's your disagreement? 1st Lieutenant vs 2nd Lieutenant? Lieutenant is commonly used to refer to both. Or are you saying that you start of at O-1 and not a higher paygrade? If that's the case, the OP was pointing out that you start off outranking enlisted service members, not that you start out above O-1.
- skh 8y agoWell, I misread the comment I responded to. I thought they said that academy graduates don’t start off at lieutenant and start off at a higher rate.
