this may sound like a stupid question but being enlisted the phrase "choose you rate, choose you fate" is heard very frequently, in reference to advancement. As an AE my advancement for my rate is poor, and if would have know that i may have chosen another rate, for example i joined the navy with a friend from high school and he is an e-5 and im still and e-3, his advancement scores are lower but his rate (IS) is near 100% mine is closer to 20%. I was wondering if any officer designation advances faster than others? My knowledge of the officer community is very limited any information would be helpful.
