The cut-off to make AGC has been pretty fair the last few cycles; the quota just looks bad because AG3/AG2/AG1 advancement rates are pretty consistently above 70%.

Tony, my terrible English is to blame. Advancement into AG3, AG2, and AG1 (Both Active and SELRES) has been 100% for roughly the last 7-8 Advancement cycles. Anyone with a pulse, a security clearance, and no PFA failures has been promoted. The AG rate burns out Sailors so quickly that there is always mid-level opportunities to advance.

Compared to that almost-foolproof advancement rate, the more modest and reasonable advancement rates for AG1's to be selected for AGC has hovered around 30% for Active-Duty and ~45% for SELRES the past 3 years. It understandably gets much more competitive to become a Senior NCO.

Well Congrats to all that made it this year and to those that didn't. Keep studying and try again next year. I know I am. This is probably gonna be my last post for this year so look forward to talking to y'all again soon. Thank y'all for all the advice and knowledge.

No problem, but the thing is that you can't make a comparison, between the E-4 through E-6 group and th E-7 promotion. My thought is that the real issue, as with all other rates, is the attrition rate (or lack there of) with E-7 and above. I know an AG1 who was resigned to the fact that AG quotas have never been that good as @OS1(SW/EXW) said, and he spent his final years in the Navy pursuing his hobbies and perfecting his BBQ grilling techniques - a real stand up guy too. I might not be seeing the whole picture though, being stuck behind this server.

Might have to wait until after my school... But I am still hesitant. I usually get the obligatory "You have such a strong package I don't know why.... Keep your head up" and I am not sure I can stomach that right now.

Well, I hope you can hit up someone who sat the board willing to offer some no fluff advise.
