The Navy has canceled petty officer 3rd class advancement exams for the second time this year to limit exposure to the coronavirus, a service statement said.

Instead, sailors will be selected for advancement from E-3 to E-4 this fall based on a scoring formula that is heavily based on job performance but also looks at other criteria, the statement said. https://www.stripes.com/news/navy/navy-cancels-fall-e-4-exams-over-coronavirus-concerns-1.640840
