    Who the hell is DH, and why does he/she deserve to be promoted? If DH wants to be promoted bad enough, he/she needs to study a little bit harder, and maybe actually study what is in the bibliography. That's what the bibs are there for, to study so that one may score high enough on the advancement exam to make rate and not just PNA.

    I took the E-5 exam 5 times before I made it, and E-6 3 times before I made it.

    Go to a small ship, work hard, volunteer for many collateral duties and get in good with the CPO mess. Then put in for a command advancement. CPO mess is usually the ones who decide who gets capped.
