If he has one more cahnce to take the exam he needs to hit the books. The bibliographies for the March advancement exam are allready available at the Navy advancement center website. He should also consider purchasing the Norstar training guides as they are written based on the bib for the exam he will be taking. Study groups help as well, it will be hard but if your husband wishes to stay he needs to put in the work. The navy is making every possible opportunity to force personnel to get out or cross rate, high year tenure is an easy one to put people out with.
If he dues get seperated for high year tenure there are some things you can do to make it better on you and your family. Despite what any of the LPO's Chiefs and Officers tell him he still needs to run a Special Request Chit to Re-Enlist. If the CO still says no than you can use the denied request to try and recieve Involuntary Seperation Pay. If he does not run the request than it would just be a normal voluntary seperation which leaves the family with far less money than with an involuntary. Besides that even with intense studying i recommend pocketing as much money as you can over the next 6 monthes and paying off as much debt as possible. Good luck.

Yes, the Navy does administer rating exams to determine eligibility for advancement, but not every "non-select" for advancement indicates a failure of the exam. Different ratings have different promotion rates. Basically, the Navy promotes to fill "holes" in the personnel manning process. He cannot be promoted to E-6 until there exists a "hole" for an E-6 with his NEC code. Certain ratings (navy occupational specialties) get phased out as the nature of the Navy's roles and equipment changes, and can even become sort of "dead-end" ratings. If this is the case, his Command Career Counselor or his Command Master Chief or his Division Officer can help him to choose an alternative conversion rating specialty that offers better promotion opportunities. Sometimes this can be agreed to as part of a re-enlistment incentive package. The Navy has high demand for certain specialties, but these may disrupt his sea/shore rotation. If he is sincere in his desire to re-enlist and he is a good sailor, then the Navy wants him to continue in service. But HE is the person most responsible for seeing as many people as necessary until his future career path becomes clear. Good Luck.

It depends on what the high year tenure level for E-4 is in the active duty Navy. If he does not get advanced to E-5 when he reaches that level, he will not be allowed to re-enlist.
Did he fail the test, or just not meet the minimum multiple needed for advancement? If he needs a higher test score, he should try the NorStar study guides. He can ask his command career counselor or educational services officers around obtaining the study guides.

Is there any kind of help or tutoring he could get to pass his E5? I think there should be something, and they woulnd't want to lose a guy with that much experience if he does his job well. Ask his CO's office.

I am sure the command would let him extend for a few months until the advancemt results come in for the March exam. If he still failed to make the cutoff he will be discharged.

If he does not pass the test then he will not be kicked out really. More than likely his contract will not be renewed, however. I am sure that there are petitions and waivers that he can dig for, but usually a long shot. No mater what he has got to pass that test if he wants to stay in. unless his job is a specialty and currently in demand. Then he might be kept in but will more than likely not progress in rank or position.

Don't worry, it's the Navy, they will keep him in, because they keep all incompetents in. Now if this were the US Army he would only get one bite at the apple!
