<p>Good find, resurrecting this old discussion. Definitely something moms need to be made aware of. </p>

<p>I didn't even know about this until my son called me last night saying he passed the first PFT, swim qual,and passed the DEP test and is getting E2. I'm glad he knew about because I was clueless.</p>

<p>Most of the time, the RDCs "voluntell" the recruits what position they will fill, in my experience. They ask who has what experience, who has college, who was a scout, who had JROTC, and so on. Some RDCs do not want the first person who volunteers with advancement in mind. So you're stuck with do I/don't I volunteer?</p>

Older ETs were either communication or radar, but they combined them. The Navy decided that since ETs were badly needed in the fleet to advance us, and if we failed radar or comms, we'd still be useful. That ended shortly. Too many petty officers without a clue. Heck, I made E-5 in C school.

<p>I don't believe you get selected for certain roles at Boot Camp, I believe you can volunteer. Some jobs are tougher than others. I have heard handling the mail is pretty thankless, but might get you promoted. </p>
<p>Section leaders and division leaders are selected and changed out by the RDC.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Makes sense and work hard on knowing that info and being able to pass that first PFA with a SAT-MED. About 10% are meritoriously promoted at BC.</p>

<p>As I said in my original post, the back of the start guide lists all the ways to get early advancement to both E-2 and E-3, and I am focusing on the RTC PQS because I do not qualify for any of the other methods. I listed a few of them: Sea Cadets, Sea Scouts, college credits, vocational training, recruiting friends. Certain degrees of achievement in those various things earn early advancement, but if you don't have the time or option for any of those, RTC PQS is the one EVERYONE can get. …</p>
<p>As I said in my original post, the back of the start guide lists all the ways to get early advancement to both E-2 and E-3, and I am focusing on the RTC PQS because I do not qualify for any of the other methods. I listed a few of them: Sea Cadets, Sea Scouts, college credits, vocational training, recruiting friends. Certain degrees of achievement in those various things earn early advancement, but if you don't have the time or option for any of those, RTC PQS is the one EVERYONE can get. That's why I made the study set on Quizlet - to help others like me who have no alternative early advancement option.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nukes get automatic E-3. There are a few rates that get this.</p>
<p>Recruiting 2 normal rates to navy gets E-2</p>
<p>Recruiting 1 special warfare or 1 nuke gets E-2</p>
<p>Recruiting 4 normal rates to navy gets E-3</p>
<p>Recruiting 2 special warfare or nukes gets E-3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The PQS only earns E-2. If you already have E-2 for some other reason the PQS will not promote you. There are promotion opportunities once at RTC, such as division leader etc. (if you do well). If you take on those positions from E-1 you may advance to E-2. If you take it on from E-2 you may advance to E-3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SO, example: I am going to try to pass the PQS to get E-2. Then I am hoping to be selected as division leader or section leader etc. to further promote to E-3. If I do not pass the PQS and still get to be division leader etc I will only advance to E-2. If I only pass the PQS and don't get any leadership role I will only advance to E-2 (if at all. Like I said you have to do well in that role to advance).</p>

<p>Ah, the E-3 for AECF used to be automatic upon graduation from boot camp. They changed it. Thanks for the update! <span style="font-size: 13px;">Still, it isn't hard to make the jump up as all you have to do to get E-2 is complete boot camp. </span></p>
<p>Saves the Navy money, I guess, and gets some experience under the new sailors' belts. </p>
