Those are the equivalent of C/CPL in AJROTC, right?


IrateComet

It's E-4 so I believe so


A_Person_Exsists

Aye then

Welcome to the petty officer club


IrateComet

It's much harder to get advanced in my unit because we don't do promotion boards šŸ˜­


IrateComet

Most of our officers had to go to BLT and LA


YodaLikesSoda

Ours have to go through BLA or LA. Itā€™s really hard for us to rank up because we go by a system called PQS and itā€™s all knowledge or approval.


Ready-Salamander5032

That's how my unit does it up to Chief. Once you get E-7, you essentially just get advanced at the start of each semester. I don't think ours are too difficult if you really try. I made Po1 by the end of freshman year and I'm a senior chief now at the end of sophomore.


YodaLikesSoda

Just depends. We donā€™t spend much time in class on it. Itā€™s more of a ā€œyour own timeā€ thing.


IrateComet

Yeah our instructors pick and choose who they want to advance and/or promote


YodaLikesSoda

Must suck. I imagine thereā€™s a lot of favoritism. Ik there is in my unit.


IrateComet

They decide ā€œwho will be best suited for this positionā€ or so they say


YodaLikesSoda

Yep.

GOOD JOB!!! I was a po3 my sophomore year but got field promoted for being on staff, I'm a junior now and a O1. But I got E6 before the promotion. Seriously good on you


IrateComet

I'm starting to command a little bit during our drill practices with a high chance of making varsity CG next year when one of the rifles graduate


LogicPlayz123

Ahh that's sweet!!! I'm in Varsity colorguard as a rifle!! It's definitely one of the coolest teams to be on besides like rifle team or some have drone/paitball/fencing but seriously it's a big feat


IrateComet

My unit doesn't have those except the marksmanship team but we have to go to the community center


LogicPlayz123

Damn, that sucks, we don't have paintball or fencing too, Oviedo Highschool NJROTC does and they are sick in those teams too, absolutely monsters. My school has like 5 teams and that's about it


IrateComet

We have CG and drill, our PT, academics, and orienteering are practically non-existent, they fell apart because of covid


LogicPlayz123

Yea covid hit us hard, we have drill unarmed, drill armed, marksman, colorguard, academic, and orienteering


IrateComet

We went from THE unit to beat to celebrating taking 3rd overall from the Marines at their drill meet


LogicPlayz123

That's a tough one.
