Template:Promotions Notice

Please do not ask or beg to be promoted, or pester your CO about when you will being promoted. Promotions are considered on a case-by-case basis and individual timelines can vary greatly from person-to-person as people learn and improve their skills at different paces. All COs expect potential promotion recipients to consistently demonstrate on a long-term basis the skills required for both the rank desired as well as the ranks previously earned. How long you've been in the group, or how long you've been at your current rank are not factors that influence promotion. If you feel like you've been unfairly passed over, ask your Captain or First Officer what you can do for the next time around to work toward your promotion. Then make a plan and figure out how to implement your captain's recommendations.
