It's a really big jump...an E1 under 4 months only makes a little over $1400/m (over 4 months is like $1493) while an E2 makes $1700/month. You want this!


Only like 12 people got promoted this way in my division out of like 50-60 E1s.

What would cause someone not to be promoted to e-2 if they passed both the written and physical test??

or are you saying that you're suprised by the e-1's that did not take advantage of this and make the effort to study/be in shape.

I honestly would feel robbed if I passed the written and physical test but was not able to be advanced for some reason.

And your recruiter does some paperwork for this--he signs a piece of paper for each of those 11 or 13 or however many blocks of "things you should know before boot camp" and it goes into your file.


I was in p-days for just under two weeks and our dep advancemnt test was like on P-3 day (It was the 3rd day of the week after our p-hold week). The Baseline PFA for me was run on 1-2 day.
