You've got it backwards.


I said nothing earlier because the statements were in the ball park as far
as time and rank went. But, Army officers are promoted based on their
efficiency ratings, which happen to be reviewed at intervals based on the
needs of the Army. If officers are being used up quickly, or the Army is
expanding, the time interval will be short. If the service is drawing
down,
the time interval will be longer.


Needs of the Army, needs of the Navy.
Same thing. Just as I passed the E-5 exam the Navy bumped subsequent
service needed to attain that rank to 12 months, so since I had only 9
months left I would need to do a 3 month extension to make E-5.
I left 9 months later as an E-4.



You mean you never got "frocked"?
