Time between promotions
I've been trying to find an accurate timeline on how long it takes a sailor (at a minimum) to get promoted up from E-5 to E-6 and came across this...
Here's the minimum time required to advance (no guarantee).
E-1 to E-2 9 months
E-2 to E-3 9 months
E-3 to E-4 6 months
E-4 to E-5 12 months
E-5 to E-6 36 months
E-6 to E-7 36 months
E-7 to E-8 36 months
E-8 to E-9 36 months
Can anyone tell me if this is correct?

I was not aware that the Navy could push you out of your current job. Will they let you take a new job that based on your ASVAB score you are overqualified for?
P.S. Yeomanette sounds like they are just making them smaller.

Where do you find the information on how many tested? My daughter is still in training for CTT-AEF. Do you know anything about that?

The quotas for CTT show that 214 Sailors passed the test for E-4 and all 214 were advanced, 100%! The table also shows the for the previous advancement cycle only 93 were advanced to E-4, 41.7%.

Also.....
It takes the average Recruit 1.6 years to make CTT3 (E-4).

The flip side of this is that there is a maximum time that a Sailor can sit in a pay grade without advancing before s/he gets booted out of the service. Its called High Year Tenure or HYT.
The years in this table are total years active duty in the Navy.
Example: An E-5 with 14 years of service will be separated because s/he hasn't advanced to E-6, even if the problem is low quotas. It clears out the dead wood so the qualified youngsters can advance.

Yes, I was familiar with the ERB rules. Seems like it would be Unconstitutional or something. at least when corporations try this, they get sued.
Considering there is only one MCPON, that seems to make that goal fairly clear.

Curious about something else. My wife tells me her brother was a barber in the Navy. I suppose the larger ships at sea for a long period of time needs barbers, but what rating does that fall under? Does one sign on for this or does one get assigned to this via undes?

SH, Ships Serviceman.
Barber, ship's store, laundry, tailor shop and stocking the vending machines among other tasks. 5 weeks of A school at Meridian, MS and lots of on-the-job training.

Did you know that the soda machines on aircraft carriers hold 1,560 cans?

That's pretty amazing. So, a young person can get a job at the local Quickie Mart, or join the Navy and get paid more, get VA benefits, and possibly a pension and a better chance for promotion.

I'm guessing that takes quite a bit of time to fill that soda machine.

The Navy will offer the SH a lower probability of being shot and robbed than the Quickie Mart. And toss in formal training with small arms!
