Where can I find Navy promotion Time in Grade/Service requirements via a .mil, or .gov data source?

I am having trouble finding an authoritative source for Navy enlisted promotion time line requirements. Yes, I know, I am finding plenty of general sources that all are probably correct, but I want to reference my source and I would much prefer it be a .mil or .gov source. Thanks.

CPT (Join to see) you should up your game on your "Googlejitsu".
If you search for something and add "site:xxxxx.xxx" to it, the results will be restricted to that domain.
For instance:
enlisted promotion timeline requirements site:navy.mil

Here is one that tells you the basics. The thing that it doesn't explain is that ranks of E-4 and above are boarded and you need to have a berth in that rank/rate. My son has been in 14 years and I still find it confusing.

The thing this doesn't go into is that the Navy's NCO Education system is mainly OJT instead of formal classes, so you have to meet your "quals" at your duty station, which apparently is not as easy as the Navy wants to think. So after E3, you need a slot, you need to have the TIS/TIG, all your "Quals", and what ever the board actually looks at for promotion. Just looking at it from the outside, it's much more subjective.

CPT Lawrence Cable - Thanks, that what I found too. You basically confirm my challenge.
Now, what you linked me to references MILPERSMAN 1160-120
From there, I found:

So my good now. Thank you VERY much. I still got to my desired end state of a .mil data source.
