Whoops!!! I wonder who is lost a job today. Anyways, congratulations to all those who advanced, especially those here on RP. Now get to work and prove you deserve the promotion.




The chief of naval personnel officially released the fall petty officer advancement list Friday to command leadership, allowing notification of sailors to start days earlier than had been planned.

"It's a little earlier than expected," said Vice Adm. Bill Moran to sailors at Riverine Group One here. "Due to some technical difficulties we made the decision to push the results to command triads today."

The early release is due to the results already being updated in some sailor's individual personnel files, which prompted Moran to approve the release to commands.

The release, he told Navy Times, was not intentional nor due to any potential misconduct. The public release of the list of the 23,072 new petty officers is set for Monday. Check back with Navy Times for the full list of active-duty, reserve and Full Time Support. "This morning we inadvertently released the fall advancement results to individual sailors ahead of our planned release schedule, said CNP spokesman Cmdr. Chris Servello.

"We will push command advancements this morning via [BUPERS online] to COs, XOs and CMCs.

"In spite of this error we still want to provide command triads an opportunity to notify their sailors of the results — we regret the inconvenience."

Oops! Someone at fault blamed it on "technical difficulties"? Go figure. Congrats to those who got promoted. One thing though PO1 Kerry Hood, if they got promoted, then IMHO they have already proved that they deserved it.

MAJ Whitehorn,

While a good portion do deserve the promotion and worked hard to get it, the issue with our advancement system is some rates have 100% advancement regardless of how well you do your job or how hard you work. It is these individuals I direct that towards. I do not think that people should have the possibility of making rank solely based on making sure you put your name down on your exam. This is of course, all personal opinion though.

I agree. I think the military promotion system needs revamping. I occasionally see folks get promoted and wonder how in the world it was possible. Then I see folks who put their heart and soul into their careers and don't get promoted. It leaves me scratching my head. I can't speak for other services, but in the AF I think there are some supervisors who can turn a turd into a nugget of gold when writing promotion recommendations.
