<p>Your percentages above are meaningless. The base for this table is ALL graduates. The percentages include only those Navy grads who are promoted to LCDR. It does not take into account those not commissioned and those commisioned into other services and the USMC.</p>
<p>The following is a post by a member on CC last spring and goes along with everything I have ever heard from both the Academy and my personal experiences. My class was a little over 60%. There have been several periods where there was an excess of officers which was taken care of by reducing promotion percentages. The LCDR percentages from the above table are extremely low so perhaps this was one of those periods. I honestly don’t remember.</p>
