There are MANY different answers to this question. The navy's ranking system is based upon performance on the job and performance on a written exam. Also, "excelerated advancement" promised to some Sailors upon recruitment can make a difference. I've seen some Sailors make E-7 in as little as 6, others took as many as 20, others still retire after 20 years of service and never make "Chief". Making E-7 requires making the other ranks first. To do that, you have to score well the written exam, and get good evaluations. After that, to make Chief, a Sailor must have a good eval record, score well on the written exam, and go before a board to be select to make Chief. After that, there's an indoc process before being frocked (allowed to wear the rank).
