Two Services See Promotion Gains
Week of November 27, 2006
Career enlisted members in the Air Force and Navy have drawn surprisingly near to their Army and Marine Corps peers in speed of advancement to higher grades and higher pay. Enlisted promotion data gathered from the four services under the Defense Department show some remarkable changes from fiscal 2000 to 2005, the last year for which complete data is available. Average time in service for Air Force members, for examples, as they advanced to pay grades E-6 or E-7 in 2005 was about four years faster than in 2000. For more information, read the article on the Military.com website.
