About 25 percent of eligible sailors will be promoted to chief in fiscal 2022

The Navy has released quotas for active-duty E-7 promotions for fiscal 2022, and more than 4,600 sailors are expected to be promoted to chief petty officer.

There are a total of 18,610 eligible sailors vying for up to 4,635 E-7 spots. That translates to a 25 percent promotion opportunity for FY22 — the same as the promotion opportunity for the past two years.
