The rank of lieutenant colonel is an officer's post spanning three levels: battalion, deputy regiment and regiment. When they switched jobs, they were at the official level, at the deputy level and at the official level. However, most demobilized military cadres only enjoy the corresponding rank treatment when they go to places, so it is difficult to find real jobs. For example, when battalion-level cadres are transferred to local governments, most of them only enjoy the salary at the official level, and rarely can they arrange the position of real section chief, which is only used by ordinary cadres.
In addition, it is true that some military cadres have been promoted to other jobs, but that is conditional. Most of them are officers who have served in their posts at the same level for more than the prescribed number of years of normal promotion, but they cannot be promoted normally due to reasons such as the proportion of posts and insufficient job vacancies. For example, an officer who has been promoted to the battalion level and deputy regiment level has served for three years, but he has not been promoted for more than three years for the above reasons. Their superiors took care of them before changing jobs. Those who have not completed the promotion period stipulated at the same level will not be promoted before they transfer their jobs.
