Actually Enlisted Men were promoted to officers during the war. They were called mustangs. Sometimes the rank was permanent. sometimes it reverted back to what it was before the promotion. But it would have to suck to go from a chief were everybody listened to your opinion (if they were smart) to a junior officer were nobody listens to you
