Abstract
The U.S. Navy's unrestricted line CURL) officer promotion
process serves as a reward system for individual officers and
largely determines the officer manpower flows and grade
structure within the URL.
This thesis briefly examines the historical roots and
defines the mechanics of the modern promotion system. It
reports the results of a promotion attitude survey administered
to 128 line officers at the Naval Postgraduate School.
The survey addressed numerous issues regarding promotion
equity and compares perceptions regarding selection opportunity
between major URL communities: aviation, surface,
submarine and women officers. Most importantly, these
perceptions are then compared to actual promotion success
data gathered from Fiscal Years 1973-1979 for the grades of
Lieutenant Commander to Captain.
The paper identifies several areas of concern to officers,
but concludes that the promotion system has functioned well
in an overall sense.
