I dunno. In a slow rate like Boatswain (either BM or AB) Second Class in 
a mere six years shows he must have had something on the ball somewhere 
in there. When I was in boot camp in 1959 we had a company commander (DI 
to most folks) who was a Bosun First with 4 hash marks (denoting at 
least 16 years service) and rate/rank insignia in gold. So, even a 4.0 
sailor doesn't advance all that quickly in that rating.

I sometimes have regretted not being a lifer. But, when I see the 
discrepancies between what lifers were promised then and what is 
delivered now ... well, suffice it to say they keep moving the goal 
posts of military life.
