Students entering Fivay’s NJROTC for the first time are assigned the grade of Cadet Seaman Recruit. Advancement beyond the initial grade in the enlisted rates is often based on performance, time in the unit, position assignment, and completion of certain military knowledge advancement tests. Achievement of officer or chief status requires an individual who has demonstrated superior quality leadership, integrity, personal appearance, conduct, and patriotism.
All rate advancements and rank promotions are determined by the naval science instructors. Unacceptable performance could result in a demotion.
