One of the questions members often ask is how they earn promotions. I've listed the new promotion guidelines below. To use this list find your current rank and it'll give you the minimum requirements that you need to earn at your rank in order to be promoted.
Promotions are no longer automatic once all requirements have been met. Members must request the promotion via the promotion request section. Please follow all directions in that section. Commissioned Officers may decline promotions at any point in the process for: Not following the given directions, poorly constructed request, not meeting the requirements for that rank, disciplinary action that pushes back the promotion eligibility date, inactivity, or other related issues. This reason will be documented in a reply explaining reason for promotion denial. Meeting eligibility requirements does NOT guarantee promotion. These are minimum requirements for eligibility.
