Getting promoted in the Army works out mostly with "TIG" (Time In Grade) for the lower ranks, (E-1 to E-4) E-1 to E-2 normally takes 3 to 6 months. E-2 to E-3 takes about 9 to 12 months and E-3 to E4 15 to 18 months. There after, you have to complete training in specialized courses. They start with ANCOC (basic NCO training) and BNCOC (advance NCO Training) Combat Life savers, war college and so forth. There are many courses available to help you advance in the Army as far as rank is concerned. The most important thing to getting promoted and keeping it is the PT or physical training test. You must be able to do, (according to your age) so many pushups and so many sit-ups in two minutes, and run two miles in a certain amount of time. Failure to do the minimum required for your age will delay or even prevent you from getting promoted. I am not sure of the required count today, but when I was started 28 years ago, at 17, I had to do 45 pushups in two minutes, 48 sit-ups in two minutes and run 2 miles in 17 minutes. Keep in mind, the longer you are in and make the rank, the longer it takes to get the rank if you are just "average" The better you do with everything you do, the more you succeed.

RE US Army Air Forces - why plural?
Possibly, because right in the middle of WW2, the US Army Air CORPS changed it's name to US Army Air FORCE...and then two years AFTER WW2, in 1947, the US Army Air Force separated from the US Army and became it's own separate branch of service; the USAF. So, from 1941 thru 1947, there were THREE US Air Forces! Any US serviceman being discharged, promoted, using his GI bill to purchase a house, etc. may have joined the US Army Air CORPS in 1941, fought WW2 while a member of the US Army Air FORCE...then did his "twenty years" and retired from the US Air Force in 1961.

No. Like it or not, if you enter the Army as an E2, E3, or E4, whether by JROTC, university credit, or whatever other reason, your peers who entered the Army with you as E1s are usually going to catch up with you by the time you get promoted again.
