I have no idea what the pipeline for a new FORCE RECON officer is, but a US ARMY LRSC platoon leader, that used to be an experienced and senior LT (or maybe a junior CPT) getting his second or third platoon, can now be a brand new LT right out of OBC. If this same thing holds true for the USMC (based on the war and increased pace of deployments), it would be possible.
