I’ve been getting a lot of traffic again lately to a few pages on Navy Advancement Results with most of the traffic coming from searches like “When do Navy advancement results come out?”, “Navy Advancement Results for cycle XXX”, and “E-x Navy Advancement results”.

First of all, c’mon people! Do you really think a site named “Gear Adrift” is going to have the latest advancement results? Secondly, why do you think google would lead you to the right place? It’s a great search engine but if you don’t know about the results, why would google? It’s not like google is in the Navy, after all.

So, here’s my bright idea to help you fellow rate-grabbers out. I’m going to compile a tracker of exactly when the various Navy advancement results have come out.

It looks like the Navy Rating Advancement exams of September 2007 are at an end, with just the makeup exams to go, all that’s left is the waiting game.

For those of us who feel we were close, and are wondering when do Navy advancement results come out, the best thing for us to do is sit back and forget about getting advanced. For those who don’t think they made it, wait for the bibs and get a head start on March’s exam (yeah, right!). Honestly, the best part of getting advanced is not having to take the Navy Advancement exam for a few years.

Ok, maybe it’s not the best part, but it’s close.

Either way, we’ll get the Navy advancement results posted sometime around December probably. No names, of course, just the stats.

When do Navy advancement results come out?
I’ve been seeing a lot of traffic from people searching in google for the answer to this question so I decided to write a quick post about it.

This week, the Navy held their semi-annual advancement exams for all E-6 eligible candidates. Basically, every E-5 over 3 years and a few early candidates sit down and take a 200 question test with 115 questions on their specific rating and 85 questions on general military knowledge. This test, normally does not bother me. As a matter of fact, I do quite well on standardized tests, I always have. I’m also pretty good and predicting the results of these tests and the likelyhood of my advancement because, after all, it’s just a numbers game.
