after A school, you make third class. During power school, you are required to take the second class exam, which will potentially put you in power school as a second class. However, since we compete with the rest of the fleet on that, most do not make E-5 for prototype. However, if you sign the 2 year extension after qualifying at prototype, you get an automatic advancement to E-5 with about 2 years in the Navy. We also have our time-in-rate for first class dropped to 2 years if we do the extension, so you can make first class in 4 and chief in 7 if you don't get in trouble and get good evals.
