Agreed. At least in the Navy, when you hit the E-7 to E-9 level, a lot of politics come into play when it comes to advancement and career - especially during the 90's after the Gulf War when the great drawdown occurred - for the last six years I was in, I could literally count on my fingers how many sub nuke machinist mates were picked for E-7 Navy wide each year.
