Who publishes the advancement eligibility list?

• A. The Chief Petty Officer
• B. The Commanding Officer
• C. The Training Officer
• D. The Personnel Support Center

Answer: (D)

The advancement eligibility list is published by the Personnel Support Center. This central Navy office handles personnel processing, pay, and promotions, and it maintains the official roster of sailors who meet all requirements for advancement to the next pay grade. Commands use this centralized list to process promotions consistently across the fleet.

A Chief Petty Officer is a rank, not an publishing authority. The Commanding Officer approves promotions within a unit, but doesn’t publish the official roster. The Training Officer handles training and qualifications, not the official dissemination of the eligibility list.
