    Yes, because they required a Sgt for the position of Plt Sgt FSG. If it is still a gapped post another Cpl may be given acting Sgt for the role.

    You should go back to substantive Cpl, unless there is a gapped Sgts post in welfare, but even then there's no guarantee you would get acting rank.

    Just because you're an acting sergeant it doesn't mean you have to shout all the time.
