When you enter the senior ranks in officership, there's a very
long period of time before your rank goes up again. E.g. CPTs take
5-7 years to go up to MAJ, so on and so forth, with the exception
of SAF scholars who go on a fast track for the star. Hence, each
rank is sub-divided, unofficially in name and officially in usage,
into stages, so as to reflect how soon you can get promoted. E.g.
if you are a LTA who has served 4 years already, consider yourself
LTA2, because 1 year more and you are a CPT.
Anyway there's no such thing as Super LTC (sounds pretty lame
some more). It's called Senior LTC, 2 crabs with a laurel leaf base
(like those in the general ranks). It's a newly-implemented rank
alongside the 3WO.
Jaadeite is right.
Firstly, there is definitely no such thing as a Super
LTC. You probably mistook it as Sen. LTC. Or maybe the Chief Clerk
was really playing punk. If it was in the Routine Order, then it
probably was no big thing.
Within the Officer Ranks there are further subdivisions, it does
not really have any lasting impact on day to day dealings but a
Captain of a higher grade would qualify for a higher level of
appointment than a lower level Captain. Not to say that CPT/1 is
rubbish compared to CPT/2, its just that CPT/2 has more experience.
CPT/1 will probably make it to CPT/2 eventually.
Also the the payscale affords them an increment in their salary.
How much? Depending if they are on scheme A, B or C. etc
etc
-edit-
But maybe the Super LTC finally managed to get into the SAF's
top secret Super Soldier Program. (think Captain America, but SAF
needs you to be a LTC atleast, instead of CPT) and will be bestowed
super powers.
Like invisibility, super strength, flight, telekinesis and able
to withstand combat ration for weeks on end.
