Unless they have changed it E1 thru E7 take a test for promotion...They not only have to pass the test but beat the quota....In other words you can pass the test and not get advanced.......E8 and E9 you go in front of a selection board and your record is the deciding factor........At least it is that way in the Navy........
If he committed those offenses, he should be prosecuted. If convicted, he should be punished.
I hate to admit it, but there are some scumbags in Special Forces, just like in any other occupation.
E4-E6 Navy, chief on up you go before a board. E1 you get for signing your name, E-2 and E-3 I believe are based on time served, and doing some stupid coursework.

Are you saying that E4 thru E6 go before a board?
Yes very similar in the Air Force. There are quotas for E ranks as well as for offficers. In the AirForce the Senior Master Sgt E8 and Chief Master E9 go before a board. The enlisted need to get through NCO school to get above E5. Officers have proficiency ratings and yes your record is key. It is said that those from the Academy get preference but I think that is only for General Officer.

Unless we get step promoted.impdaddy:
Step promoted? I have heard the term, but drawing a blank.

The Good Reverend, heard that twice.

Thanks. I think we sorta has something like that, where skipper of each command could choose one person for promotion each cycle or year. I got out 17 years ago, so I am finding my memory on details back then not what it should be.
first one I got was because I was a fast burner but didnt make the 5 (journemany) requirments before deployment..... The 2nd I got was when I was in the gulf and could not make it back to get the 7 "craftsman" rating required for promotion, though I was teaching everyone how to use thier equipment while remaining over seas.
