Note: This news is still preliminary, and therefore subject to 1) my own misinterpretation and 2) Navy whimsy.
I just heard today that Big Navy wants to do away with temporary Security personnel on carriers, meaning that all the grunt work currently filled by other ratings on loan will soon be done exclusively by MAs. If this goes through, the rating is going to need a lot of new bodies, and advancement may get a shot in the arm.
