<p>By Ensign David Frey, BSN, RN, ADC-II, U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka, Japan.<br><br>"What is a mustang? To most people, a mustang is thought to be a wild, untamed American horse but the word “mustang” has an alternative<br>meaning to those of us in the military. A Mustang is a military officer who previously served within the enlisted ranks. The history of this term is a bit clouded but it is believed to have started as a term given to soldiers who earned a battlefield commission or as a naval term for enlisted Sailors who rose from the ranks of enlisted to officer."<br></p>
