Could you name some examples?
Wasn't George Freselone made underboss after his ceremony? Obviously showed the state of the family at the time. And then there was Ralph Natale who was made and then named boss.
Oh sure Uncle Ralph. Hoe could I forget..
in a way - gotti could count?? he was a "acting capo " before being made.

Once inducted into the family a guy is considered ‘made’. He is ‘made’ into the family. He is then considered a soldier. The next level is a Capo, an abbreviation for a Capodecina. Boss of 10. He has a ‘crew’ (around 10) made guys (buttons, soldiers). Above the Capos is the family administration; The consigliere (advisor), the UnderBoss and the Boss.
All members of the family from soldier through to boss are made.

If ur made ur a soldier. Its the lowest rank in the mob if ur a made member. Before soldier is an associate, which means ur not made.
