Not necessarily...some MOS's advance faster than others and being on some types of "special duty".... DI, embassy, Marine 1, etc., helps also. I enlisted at 18 into a critically short MOS and picked up E5 before my 21st birthday.

The special duties don’t really help promotion like they used to until they start getting FITREPs...
