Unless they have changed it E1 thru E7 take a test for promotion...They not only have to pass the test but beat the quota....In other words you can pass the test and not get advanced.......E8 and E9 you go in front of a selection board and your record is the deciding factor........At least it is that way in the Navy........
E4-E6 Navy, chief on up you go before a board. E1 you get for signing your name, E-2 and E-3 I believe are based on time served, and doing some stupid coursework.
