That&#8217;s followed closely by the selected reserve with a 27.84 shot to move up. Active-duty chances came in at just under 19 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the third cycle in a row that the overall, force-wide advancement rate dropped, but it&#8217;s a far cry from the wild swings only a handful of cycles ago that left many ratings in the lurch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason: High retention across the active-duty force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are a vacancy-driven advancement system and continued high retention in the active force, currently 108 percent of our goal this fiscal year to date has led to fewer openings, and thus a drop again this cycle,&#8221; said Julie O&#8217;Neal, head of enlisted plans and policy for the chief of naval personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hope is for\u00a0a slight improvement in the overall shot this fall when both this summer&#8217;s Meritorious Advancement Season and next fall&#8217;s test will combine to to determine the overall advancement rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But beyond that, she said, sailors&#8217; fate next year and beyond is out of the Navy\u2019s plans as currently the <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Navy\u2019s <\/span>fiscal 2017 end strength won\u2019t be clear until the final 2017 budget numbers are determined.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overall failure rate for exams crept back up slightly to 4.4 percent, up from just 4 percent last year and five percent the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, for the third cycle in a row officials engineered a simultaneous release of active-duty, full-time support and selected reserve quotas, today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials announced today they also plan again for a simultaneous release of the names on May 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ec.militarytimes.com\/static\/pdfs\/PAO-SELRES-Cycle-98-2016-E4-E6.pdf\">PAO SELRES Cycle 98 2016 E4-E6<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ec.militarytimes.com\/static\/pdfs\/FTS-Cycle-231-2016-E4-E6.pdf\">Full Time Support Cycle 231 2016 E4-E6 Advancement Quotas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ec.militarytimes.com\/static\/pdfs\/Active-Cycle-231-2016-E4-E6.pdf\">Active Duty Cycle 231 2016 E4-E6 Advancement Quotas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Active-duty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the active force, all three paygrades combined saw the chance to move up in the ranks slip for the third straight cycle and come in below the 10-year average, O&#8217;Neal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of 89,796 sailors sat for their exams in March with 87,621 or 97.5 percent managing a passing score on their exams. With 16,550 quotas to go around, advancement chances came in at 18.89 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that the lowest exam failure rate in the service came in the active force with just 2,175 exam failures for a 2.42 percent failure rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Full-Time Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s good to be an FTS sailor this cycle as <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">the highest <\/span>these sailors have a 30.54 shot to move up to E-4, 5 and 6, the highest Navy-wide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cycle, 2,206 FTS sailors took exams in March and 2,109 cut a passing score on their tests who competed for a total of 644 quotas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their failure rate, however was nearly double that of the active force with 97 sailors or 4.40 percent failing their tests and thus had no chance to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Selected Reserve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February, 11,444 drilling reservists sat for their exams with 9,487 or 82.90 percent managing a passing score and becoming eligible to compete for 2,642 advancement quotas which made for a 27.85 percent shot at advancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the second straight cycle of improvement for the SELRES who saw force cuts severely limit advancement for a few cycles as the reserve component slimmed to their current post-war end strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dark cloud in <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">side <\/span>the silver lining for the reserves is that their failure rate remains highest in the force at 17.10 percent as 1,957 sailors did not cut a passing exam score. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opportunities for active-duty sailors to move up the petty officer ranks dipped for the spring 2016 cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":55382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":65,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12,65],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3087],"class_list":["post-28358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-navy"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"XYVZ7TFLI5CV7NGK2GBARZ4IWE","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2016\/05\/25\/active-duty-spring-2016-petty-officer-quotas-dip-fts-reserve-up\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Active duty spring 2016 petty officer quotas dip: FTS, Reserve up - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Opportunities for active-duty sailors to move up the petty officer ranks dipped for the spring 2016 cycle.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Active duty spring 2016 petty officer quotas dip: FTS, Reserve up\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Opportunities for active-duty sailors to move up the petty officer ranks dipped for the spring 2016 cycle.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2016\/05\/25\/active-duty-spring-2016-petty-officer-quotas-dip-fts-reserve-up\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Navy Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-05-25T15:31:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T19:15:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mark D.
