The Navy Meritorious Advancement Program authorizes commanding officers to advance eligible enlisted Sailors in paygrades E5 and below. This gives commanding officers the opportunity to acknowledge a select few who have demonstrated that they are ready for the next level of responsibility by advancing them in rate. Sailors who are meritoriously advanced to first class, second class, or third class petty officer in the United States Navy, become heir to a long and proud tradition of Naval leadership. Their desire to excel and to guide others must be boundless; their appearance must be a model for others and their performance must be a continual reflection of their sincerity, attention to duty and moral responsibility. Without question, the Sailors selected for meritorious advancement this cycle have consistently demonstrated excellence (Official Navy photos by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
