Here is the problem though. People get sent all over and its all luck.
I got sent to a JIOC as a LTJG with 18 months til I pinned LT. I did the same jobs as the LTs at the command but I was not given a breakout because I was junior. Same happened for a ton of guys who showed up as very junior LTs or LTJG.
Then you got guys showing up at 8-9 years as LTs and being given EPs for their first FITREP before they even finish the watch simply because they are senior.
You can take all the hard jobs you want but if you are junior, too bad. I watched it happen over and over.
Career management is a nice buzzword for the 1830 community but its entirely based on luck and whats available to you. It is nothing like the other line communities who actually have set milestons and career paths.
Could you imagine a SWO LTJG being put into a OPS billet on a CRUDES? No. It would never happen. Happens all the in the 1830 community.
