Your owns smarts. To expand on that, your ability to learn and adapt to changes around you. Grow with people and to learn. If you don't have the "smarts", both street and book, you won't make it.

To be blunt, knowing whose but to kiss and whose not to kiss. You can be the best leader in the world but if you get on the wrong side of someone in the chain of advancement, you'll go nowhere.

There's one thing that could both make or break a military career and it is called personal "Sacrifice", that means what is a person willing to give up to make a career serving in the military. This depends on a lot of factors and each one of must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to make a career out of the military.

A break in my book is the inability to earn the respect of your soldiers because you do not fight for them when they are in the right.

The good old boy club. If you are in it, you’ll move up easily. If you aren’t, you won’t. Fact.

Absolutely the truth. If you have all the right stuff, but no connections "where they count", you won't get the promotions and assignments you need to complete a career. If you have the connections, you'll be mentored and tutored and flat out guided out of your mistakes. I've seen it happen so many times!
And while we're at it, you need to be on the same page with your rater, who needs to be on the same page as whoever rates them. The more disagreement, the less likely you are to move up.
