It's not just the old and bold who are "offered" their commissions; on getting my papers raised it turned out half of my mess were simply offered them at some stage of their, thus far, short careers.

Wow.

In days of yore they could be purchased (or sponsored by a relly.)

Barclaycard? That'll do nicely, sir.

The RN never let you purchase a commission, hence the phrase 'Ladies, Gentlemen and Naval Officers'. Completely different if you were a pongo mind!
