Hi there, I was wondering if anyone new any examples of people skipping a rank, ie Cpl to Flight Sergeant or cadet to Cpl? I highly doubt there is any out there but may as well ask.
I have know promotions direct to Cpl jumping over JCpl / LCpl.
Not heard of any other skipping although you could do Cpl to FS but that would be very unusual.
Thanks 
Most of the RAFAC doesn’t have LCpl - only the CCF(RAF) so they align with Army.
Sgt to CWO used to be a thing - when it was age based. But not common.

I was assuming Op was CCF as they gave the example of cadet to Cpl.
Just because the ATC doesn’t use it doesn’t meant that LCpl isn’t a RAFAC Rank 
It’s also been an RAF rank since 2010. For some reason, it’s curently RAF Regt only: but it would be very useful in RAFP and the intelligence profession.
