Default Crew Experience?

Can someone explain what the numbers in brackets are for next to experience and also next to efficiency? I had a look in the guides section but found nothing and the manuals also very vague.

The experience numbers are the total number of "promotion points" (as we call it in the Army) needed before the crewman can be promoted to the next rank.

For instance, in this screenshot, the crewman's total experience level is 0, and the (+0) indicates he has not gained any experience points so far. He will need 7150 points in order to be promoted. His efficiency level is at 100 out of a total possible point value of 117. That (+7) indicates he has received a 7-point performance bonus from the Officer of the Deck, i.e., the crew leader in the Command Room. It's a leadership bonus, akin to what the Combat Mission series models.

The number in the brackets for the experience is the experience gained since you last "visited" the crew management screen.

Default About the efficiency bonus points

If I have well understand your answer, The Crew leader is giving efficiency bonus points to the crew.
So, do you know why all the guys of one team (for instance the third team of the front torpedo room) do not have the same bonus? The range is 0 to 11.
Do you know how can I maximise this bonus points for all my crew?
Thank you for yours answers.

I just returned from a successful mission -101tonne of merchant ships sunk. Though there were lots of available promotions on the left, I was told that none of my crew have been approved for promotion? Any ideas? At this rate, I can't wait to finish the game (I usually finish what I started) and move onto the next one.
help?
