Well said. I don't know about other services, but the Army is currently looking at a 60% promotion rate to O-4 for this board.Nice little pay bump: both a rank increase and over 2 years, or "O-2 over 2." See DFAS pay tables.

Promotion to O-2 and 0-3 is generally "fog-a-mirror" with CO's check in the "recommend for promotion" block, with promotion usually occurring on or about commissioning anniversary, at years 2 and 4.
Promotions to O-4 and beyond are board competitions, with selection percentages dropping significantly with each succeeding rank.
Nice to see the progression.
