Subject: How Do You Exactly Get Promoted in the Military?

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

I'm not in the military but I would like to have some further understanding on what actually happens when you get promoted in the military, especially the higher ranking. It's for a project of mine.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Time and recommendation mostly.

In my case in the army, if i complete a few online classes i am promoted to private first class straight out of bootcamp.

I don't know about other branches, but for Air Force, at least for officers, it's a promotion every two years until Captain. Then you have to have completed your Masters and other education for Major. Each eligibility further on also requires additional schooling. Just to be eligible mind you. Getting it is another story.

Also, say you are in the Marine Corps, if you get to Sargent Major, you can prestige and start again!

That sounds great! I'll give up the benefits of a higher rank (respect, higher paycheck) so people will think I'm "1337".

Yeah, to get promoted usually you just stay in a long time and get recommendations when a spot opens up like someone transfers to a new unit/post or they get promoted, etc.

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

It depends on a lot of things, but time in can be a big factor. Although, that's not always the case. I knew someone who had been in the Navy for 20 years and was still only a Petty Officer 1st Class.

Edit: Forgot to mention, it also has to do with what your job is. Obviously a Nuke is going to get promoted faster than a Culinary Specialist.
