Best Answer

For the junior grades of Ensign and Lieutenant Junior Grade, promotion to Lieutenant is pretty much automatic, as long as you have a pulse and a body temperature above 97. You have to really fall on your sword to fail to select to LT.

Promotion to Lieutenant Commander (O-4) is based on a selection board, and only about half of the Lieutenants will be promoted to LCDR. The selection board primarily looks at your performance evaluation reports, called "fitness reports" or FITREPs.
