The state, condition, or status of holding a brevet military commission.
Formed from 'brevet' with the suffix '-cy' (Latin '-cia'), used to transform nouns into abstract nouns representing conditions or states, following patterns like 'regency' or 'agency'.
Military language loves creating abstract nouns for ranks and positions, and 'brevetcy' lets officers formally refer to their somewhat awkward status of being promoted in honor but not in pay.
