Chances good for chief
According to figures released by the
Bureau of Naval Personnel, this will be
a good year for first class petty of-
ficers trying to make chief.
The E-7 selection board which con-
vened on Monday, June 14 has been given
authorization to select 8,401 primary
selectees and 97 alternates for pro-
motion to chief petty officer from the
17,500 eligible E-6s during the upcoming
promotion cycle.
It is expected to take the selection
board about eight weeks to screen all
the records of the eligibles, and it
is hoped that the board will report
about mid-August.
The 8,400 figure for E-6s is about
twice the number selected from last
year's board meeting.
