CREO list for HM NEC's?

[Raca1234]

Does anyone know about the advancement for different NEC's as an HM? I've been told how important it is for advancing in my career, and I have a couple NEC's in mind that I want to look into. As always, thanks for all the information!

I'd suggest the BUPERS HM page, but that always seems super buggy so I'm at a loss.

While there are some rates that do (CTI, for instance, is separated by language group), HM doesn't promote based on NECs. Having x NEC may give you opportunities that help with advancement, but there's no separate quota for advancement and you'll still be competing with all the other HMs when you test.

Oh alright. Thank you for the information! My recruiter told me HM's were advanced based off of your NEC... so I guess that was the first lie I've recognized...

That is because in reality the Navy does promote by NECs but they'll never let you know what or how. Your recruiter isn't lying there really isn't a way to tell what NEC will advance quicker. Though you can look at bonuses and assume any rate and NEC will advance because they are short in that area.
