Something I've noticed as well, crew will be auto promoted based on God knows what. It appears to be longevity and cruise completions and only happens within the segments of non-rated, petty officer and CPO. That is non-rated men auto advance from E-1, SR to E-3 SN automatically, but must be selected for promotion in port to petty officer 3/c. Thereafter, advancement to 1/c just seems to happen without in port selection. However advancement from 1/c to CPO must be in port selection but then CPO to SCPO to MCPO also seems to be auto.
At least that's what I'm seeing.
