Making chief got tougher again this year, with overall opportunity at 18.77 percent, down from 20.19 percent last year.

There are 3,697 quotas for the 19,701 board-eligible first class petty officers. That’s a drop of 327 from last year’s 4,024 sailors who got to pin on anchors. The number of board-eligible sailors declined 225 from last year’s total of 19,926.

See the quotas
It’s the fourth straight year of declining opportunity, since the nearly 27 percent opportunity in fiscal 2006.

It’s also the lowest overall opportunity in a decade. But this year’s chances are well above the 14.37 percent shot sailors had in fiscal 1999.
