Depends which branch of service. In the US Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps there are two Lieutenant ranks - Second Lieutenant (O-1) - which is the lowest commissioned officer rank - and First Lieutenant (O-2), which is the next rank up. Likewise in the Navy and Coast Guard, there are also two Lieutenant ranks - Lieutenant Junior Grade - which is pay grade O-2 and equivalent to a First Lieutenant in any other branch - and Lieutenant - which is pay grade O-3 and equivalent to a Captain in any other branch. After (Navy) Lieutenant comes Lieutenant Commander, which is equivalent to a US Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Major.
24 months for WO1 to CW2. 72 months to CW3, 72 months for CW4. Outstanding individuals can make CW3 and CW4 in as little as 36 months however based on merit and the needs of the component
First Lieutenant is a very common rank in the Army, and is held literally by thousands of service members.
The first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada (modern day Ontario) was John Graves Simcoe.
His first duty after being commissioned as a lieutenant was platoon leader.
