relative FMS among contemporaries who took the
same Navywide competitive examination for
advancement determines the effective date of
advancement to paygrades E-4 through E-6. For
members selected for advancement to paygrades E-7
through E-9, their seniority among contemporaries in
the same rate determines their effective advancement
date. The effective date of advancement authorized in
the advancement notification is the earliest date on
w h i c h t h e m e m b e r m a y b e a d v a n c e d . T he
commanding officer may effect advancement on a later
date for a specific cause. However, the commanding
officer may not delay a members authorized
advancement for the express purpose of according the
member future monetary gain or other personal
benefit. That could include delaying advancement
until the members expiration of enlistment so that the
member could receive the full reenlistment bonus. If a
members advancement is withheld beyond the
authorized effective date, the procedures in the
