I have never heard of a "field promotion" in the AF (maybe WW2 or Korea). I have also never heard of one for an officer in any service.
I did just read that they just gave A1C Spencer Stone, who was the guy (hero) who recently stopped the terrorist attack on the train bound for Paris, is being promoted from airman first class (E-3) to staff sergeant (E-5) for that. I was pretty annoyed by that...and I imagine a lot of guys in their 5th tour of getting shot at were as well. Just the medals he got put him far ahead of most for promotion.
