Is it uncommon to go 25 years in the Navy and not make Chief Petty Officer?

My dad was enlisted for 25 years, and retired as a First Class Petty Officer. My friend, whos father retired at a higher rank in the Air Force and has also been enlisted for a few years now himself,basically slammed my dad for not making Chief Petty officer without flat out saying it. I'm not talking to him again because he insulted both of us. I'm just wondering if it is common or not,and if there might be a good reason my dad did not advance.
