each branch of service is very different. I spoke with an Army cat and you have to go in front of a board of Master Sergeant and what not and they give the thumbs up or down. I know in the Marine Corps they give you Private First Class (E-2) and Lance Corporal (E-3) after a certain period of time. 6 months for PFC and 9 months for Lcpl. For Corporal you have a variety of things that affect your Composite Score. How well you are physically fit ie. 3 mile run, pullups, situps. Proficiency and Conduct Scores ( how well you perform and professionalism) whether or not you have your variety of tests completed 7 for Corporal and 8 for Sergeant. All this and your Rifle Qualification score. All in all its actually pretty easy to pick up as long as you can PT, shoot, and keep your nose clean. Sorry about the ranting and raving. Kind of got on a tangent. IDK what branch your looking at but thats what I know.

Navy is really dependent on your job classification and the number of billets available at each rank. I made E6 in 4.5 years but most job classifications it takes significantly longer.Dustin

^I moved from E-1 to E-5 right on time. A meritorious advancement would have been sweet, though.
Would have been able to test for E-6 a year after I left the service.
When I made E-5, things were wide open for journalists but the following test, well, things were closed up pretty tight. There's a good amount of luck for advancement, imo.
