Fall 2018 Petty Officer Advancement Quotas Released
19 November 2018
The Navy released the fall petty officer advancement quotas for more than 22,000 active duty, Full Time Support (FTS), Canvasser Recruiter and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors to advance to E-4, E-5, and E-6, Nov. 19. Each year there are three advancement opportunities for petty officers - spring advancement cycle, Meritorious Advancement Program, and fall advancement cycle. Community managers take into account all three periods in developing advancement plans to ensure continuous advancement opportunities and community health.
As Navy grows the force, leadership recognizes the need to retain Sailors with the technical and leadership skills for the future in order to meet its growing need for accomplished Sailors that cannot be met through recruitment alone.
This fall, active duty petty officers in all rates and paygrades will see advancement opportunities. Across calendar year 2018, advancement chances have remained high between the spring advancement cycle and nearly 7,000 promotions through the Meritorious Advancement Program.
Advancement opportunities for FTS Sailors were above the 10-year average for E-4 and E-5 and below the 10-year average for E-6.
For SELRES, advancement opportunity increased in the E-4 and E-5 paygrades and remained stable in paygrade E-6. Overall, all three paygrades remained above the average of the last 7 advancement cycles, which demonstrates steadily improved and stable advancement opportunity for Reserve Sailors.
