So really only starboard/port leaders get promoted (and I guess the RCPO and RPO would too)? Well I wouldn't mind being a PO for some of those positions.


Also...Happy Birthday Navy!!

Nah, not just them, I've heard of yeomans and LPOs/HPOs too. And even some who didn't have a leadership position at all. The RDCs will promote the people that they think do the best job, are the most motivated/capable etc. Being in a position like RCPO, yeoman or Starboard watch (not so much Port, they're generally secondary) simply gives more opportunities for the RDCs to see your merit. If you get one of those jobs and are decent but not outstanding you'll still get passed over.
