Career time scale[edit]

Does anyone know exactly how many months/years are required at PO2 before they're eligible to take PO1 exam? I have no idea. - Wguynes 03:52, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)

Here are the Time In Rate (TIR) Requirements for U.S. Navy Enlisted Advancements (given in months):

SR to SA = 9 (w/No exam); SA to SN = 9 (w/No exam); SN to PO3 = 6; PO3 to PO2 = 12; PO2 to PO1 = 36*; PO1 to CPO = 36*; CPO to SCPO = 36 (w/No exam); SCPO to MCPO = 36 (w/No exam). *May be waived up to 1 year for Early Promotes (EP's) for advancement to PO1 or CPO only. Source = U.S. Navy Advancement Center (See http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ranks/rates/rates.html )

Based upon educational background, work background or incentives for advanced training, certain recruits may enter the Navy as SA or SN.

Insignia[edit]

I used the insignia from the insignia table page. They're rather small and lacking in detail for use here, but better than nothing. If anyone finds higher quality, larger, and consistent-looking insignia for all the navy enlisted, please feel free to replace these. I think leaving the table page as the small ones is best, however, due to server load. - Wguynes 03:52, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)

Game[edit]

Does any one know the history of the Acey Ducey association? I am in the Navy, and I am trying to start one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.153.144 (talk) 04:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
