High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Volunteer-per-order was a name for a rating for young boys which was an early method of entry into the Royal Navy of young gentlemen destined to become officers. The rating was introduced by Samuel Pepys in 1676 and the recipient received Pds. 24 a year and a letter from the crown which virtually guaranteed him promotion to commissioned rank after the specified training and passing the examination for lieutenant.
