How quickly you get promoted to Lieutenant is entirely up to you. There are various different ways of doing this:

Complete your Imperial Naval Pilot Record (INPR). This can be done online by logging in to the TIE Corps database
Fly any EH Battle
Win a round at any official Multiplayer contest
Participate in any official EH Contest
Make a submission to the Fleet Newsletter.
Create a battle or free mission that is approved by the Tactical Office!
Complete any IWATS Courses (not inc. the Core test).

Complete any of these activities and your CMDR may request your promotion to Lieutenant.

First contact for any questions should always be your Squadron CMDR. It's your CMDR's job to help you, if he doesn't know the answer to your question, he should be able to tell you who to ask, or find out for you.

First of all, don't panic! There could be any number of reasons for this, but just in case it means your CMDR has gone AWOL, the first thing you should do is contact Wing Commander immediately. Your Wing Commander will know what to do next.

That depends on your position. If you're a Flight Member you must wait two months before you are eligible for promotion. A Flight Leader must wait one. However, this isn't an automatic promotion. Simply idling for two months will not earn you a promotion to Lieutenant Commander. You have to show that you're an asset to your Squadron, and that means being active.

There are limitless things you can do to be active. The most obvious (and the one that CMDRs love the most) is for you to download and fly battles. This not only keeps your CMDR happy, but it increases your rank in the Fleet Commander's Honour Guard too. You can take IWATS Courses, write fiction, create graphics, chat on IRC, post on Message Boards, design your own Battles and Free Missions, exchange lots of emails, suggest new ways to make your Squadron or Wing better… the list is only limited by your imagination. But make sure that you let your CMDR know about whatever you do - being active and people knowing about your being active are two different things!

If you're a FM or FL, you send it to your CMDR. Everyone else sends their files to the next person up the chain of Command. So, CMDRs send their files to the WC, WCs send theirs to the COM, COMs send theirs to the BGCOM and BGCOMs send theirs to the Flight Officer.

The database knows who you are, and it only allows you to do whatever your position entitles you to do. As a Flight Member or Flight Leader, all you can do is change certain details on your own Profile. A CMDR can recommend Imperial Security Medals or submit BSFs for anyone in his Squadron, he can change Squadron and Flight nicknames, banners, URLs and mottos. The further up the chain of command you go, the more access privileges you get.

Who you contact depends on what the problem is. The Tie Corps database is a very large program and different Command Officers have different areas of responsibilities.

The Flight Officer - For any inaccuracies relating to the Rosters. For example, ranks, dates, assignments, email addresses, etc.

The Training Officer - For any inaccuracies relating to IWATS Courses

The Tactical Officer - For any inaccuracies relating to Battle Records or FCHG Ranks

The Operations Officer - For any inaccuracies relating to Medal Awards.

Be advised that pilots seeking to have Battle or Medal records changed must supply proof that the records are incorrect before any changes will be approved.

That's because it's the TIE Corps Database. The Hammer's Fist Roster will show the other character.

The FCHG stands for the Fleet Commander's Honour Guard. Every time you fly a mission, every time you win an official multiplayer combat and every time you gain a High Mission or Battle Score, you gain FCHG points. Once you earn the minimum number of points, you are automatically a member of the FCHG. Membership of the FCHG is split into ranks and the more points you earn, the higher your FCHG rank will be. You gain additions to your ID line and stripes which may be added to your uniform for every FCHG rank you earn. You can look at your Wing's Roster to see where you stand in relation to all of your fellow FCHG members.

Full details of how to arrange your uniform, as well as downloadable medals and uniform templates for all ranks and positions are always available at the Operations Office. Descriptions of all medals and awards are held in the Operations and Training Manuals.
