Unfortunately, though you can promote within the category (sailor rank to sailor rank, Petty officer to the next higher petty officer, and officer to the next officer rank) you cannot promote a petty officer to an officer.

For example, once a petty officer reaches the maximum petty officer rank, he cannot be promoted farther.

The game doesn't allow it.

Not really. From a game design standpoint... you can't spend all your time and money attempting to simulate everything.

Besides, that would be called "real life."

It takes a pretty large amount of time to get a Petty Officer to max rank anyway, your Real Officers should be highly experienced and skilled by that time.

A new "Green" Officer woulden help at all.
