I don't know where you obtained the information that wound up in your article, but advancement to Seaman Apprentice is not automatic upon graduation from basic training. As a matter of fact, it isn't even timed to seem as though it is automatic! It takes 6 months to advance from Seaman Recruit to Seaman Apprentice. That means that upon graduation from basic training, a Seaman Recruit must wait 4 months to become advanced to the "rank" of Seaman Apprentice. The only way around this is to become advanced to E2 or E3 before basic training, or to become meritoriously advanced during basic training. Thank you.
Advancement to E2 is automatic. Ask ANYONE in the navy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ParksTrailer ( talk • contribs) 19:39, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
