ACCELERATED ADVANCEMENT
PROGRAM
The Accelerated Advancement Program provides
an opportunity for graduates of certain class “A”
schools (other than the Advanced Electronics Field
[AEF], Advanced Technical Field [ATF], or Nuclear
Field [NF] programs) to elect accelerated
advancement to petty officer third class without
competing in Navywide advancement examinations.
Training school COs are authorized to advance the
number one “A” school graduate to the next higher
paygrade not to exceed E-3. Time-in-rate (TIR)
requirements for the purpose of this advancement are
waived. Effective date of advancement will be the date
of graduation. Furthermore, the number one student
may also be included as a candidate for accelerated
advancement to E-4.
Training school COs may recommend the upper 10
percent of the qualified candidates in each “A” school
graduating class for the Accelerated Advancement
Program.
Members recommended must elect to
participate in the program before or upon graduation
from an “A” school.
Advancements for personnel may be effected at
their first duty station after a 4 to 10-month observation
period. Candidates must have graduated in the top
percentile as established by the specific school as
outlined in Navy Military Personnel Manual
(MILPERSMAN), NAVPERS 15560, and Article
1430-010. They must be recommended by the training
school’s commanding officer and meet body fat and
physical readiness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1.
Before advancement to E-4, candidates must complete
the POIC. TIR is waived for members being advanced
under the provisions of accelerated advancement. In
other words, accelerated advancement to E-4 may be
effected for qualified candidates whether or not they
are serving in paygrade E-3.
Q12. The Accelerated Advancement Program
provides an opportunity for certain members to
elect accelerated advancement to what
paygrade?

performance tests (if required), and meet body fat and
physical readiness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1.
