which considers a variety of performance factors including a
candidate’s overall performance, technical knowledge, military

decorations, and the like. Before any candidate may be
advanced, the candidate must have the favorable recommendation
of their commanding officer. Personnel within each rating (job)
compete with each other for a limited number of promotion
vacancies. It is possible, even common, for a candidate to
receive a passing score on an advancement exam and/or to
complete minimum required advancement courses, but still not be
actually advanced. Only those qualified candidates for whom
