< Though its somewhat complex to outsiders, those within the military fully understand what they need to do to grow as a soldier (or officer). There's no ambiguity for what's needed to grow from E1 to E2 or from Lieutenant to Major.
You mean like in Team America? /jk
No seriously, how does it work?

Various benchmarks: time-in-grade (ex: 6-months as an E1 makes you eligible for a promotion to E2). For E4, there are two paths: Corporal (Non-commissioned officer, a leadership role) or Specialist (non-leadership, but a more specialized set of skills). More importantly: these promotion requirements are well regulated, checked-and-double-checked for consistency. Everyone in the ranks knows what to expect. Leadership knows when to promote. A sense of fairness exists, etc. etc.
