That almost sounds legit. I can see someone thinking “well, they’re not promotion material, but they’re also far-and-away the best Ensign we have on the whole ship…”
"Ensign Kim, we hope you are readjusting well to life on Earth. We have been reviewing the reports and are finding you quite the accomplished Ensign, you were instrumental to the survival of voyager and her crew, even taking on captain duties at times. You were basically 6th or 7th in command right after the doctor. We feel continuing to call you Ensign Kim would be a disservice to all you have achieved in the past 7 years aboard Voyager.
Come here, take these 3 black pins. Place them in a row in front of your white ensign pin…yes, just like that. Congratulations Super-Ensign Kim. You are dismissed."
The more I look, the better it gets.
