This was typically the case in security organizations, such as the <a href="/wiki/Gestapo" title="Gestapo">Gestapo</a> and <i><a href="/wiki/Sicherheitsdienst" title="Sicherheitsdienst">Sicherheitsdienst</a></i> (SD). A typical scenario in the early SS was for a member to join as an <i>SS-<a href="/wiki/Mann_(military_rank)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mann (military rank)">Mann</a></i> and then receive promotion directly to <i><a href="/wiki/Sturmf%C3%BChrer" title="Sturmführer">Sturmführer</a></i>. In some cases, where an officer was being "groomed" to take up an SS leadership position, an officer could be promoted even higher. Such was the situation with <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Jeckeln" title="Friedrich Jeckeln">Friedrich Jeckeln</a> who was promoted directly from <i>Mann</i> to <i><a href="/wiki/Sturmbannf%C3%BChrer" title="Sturmbannführer">Sturmbannführer</a></i>. </p><p>By 1938, the size and logistics of the SS brought about the need for an established system of becoming an SS officer with this system different for both the <a href="/wiki/Waffen-SS" title="Waffen-SS">Waffen-SS</a> and the general SS formations of the <i><a href="/wiki/Allgemeine-SS" class="mw-redirect"

A <a href="/wiki/R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9" title="Résumé">résumé</a> of the SS member's career, the <i>Lebenslauf</i> stated why the SS member felt they should be commissioned as an officer and gave, as evidence, a list of chronological accomplishments both within the SS and before joining. </p><p>Following a racial and political background check, the SS member's service record would be reviewed, with the <i>Lebenslauf</i> and all SS evaluations screened by the SS personnel office (known as the SS <i>Personalhauptamt</i>). If found eligible for promotion, the potential SS officer's name would be forwarded to <a href="/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler" title="Heinrich Himmler">Heinrich Himmler</a> for final approval of commission. </p><p>Between 1934 and 1938, Himmler personally reviewed all candidates for promotion to the rank of <i>Untersturmführer</i>.
