The year 2025 may be 15 months away, but the Navy is directing commands now to ensure that personnel attend leadership development programs so that they can be eligible for advancement that year.

Enlisted leader development, or ELD, programs educate sailors on ethics, decision-making and character development, and were first stood up in 2019. But starting in 2025, sailors won’t be able to rank up to the E-6 and E-7 paygrades without attending the courses.

“ELD completion will be a prerequisite to take the Navy-wide advancement exam for E-6 and E-7,” a Navy administrative message released Tuesday states.

Advancing to E-8 will require course attendance starting in fiscal year 2026, according to the Navy. E-4 courses are available but are not yet a requirement to be eligible for advancement, according to the message.

If they are teaching CRT and demeaning America at the academies, they will have to do the same in these courses.

No wonder they aren't meeting their enlistment goals.

The job of the navy is to show force, and , if necessary, use it as effectively as possible (break things and kill enemies).

Anything that detracts from that mission, anything that lessens combat effectiveness and readiness is dross that should go over the side.
