E6 in 3 years? Is there such thing as making rank too soon?

I made E-8 in 13 so yes

I made Sgt E-5 in 2.5 years and SSG E-6 in 4 years. I was in the right place at the right time and rang the right bells / jumped through the right hoops. I’d rather be lucky than good any day.

Not positive but I dont think 3 years TIS is enough for an E-6 SSG promotion or rank without a battlefield promotion. I dont even think that's enough time even with a waiver.

Yes.

Yes, health that is esssential for humans.

Yes. With experience comes rank and respect. I will assume this individual was in a critical MOS and was prmoted quickly in order to retain him/her.

I’m a little surprised here. Comments seem to be fair as to speed of a person to be promoted needs to rest with their ability to soak up the necessary leadership requirements for the rank. This is not just to the bottom of the enlisted ranks. 2LTs coming out of some podunk div III college with a degree in basketweaving is in the same position as the E5 or E6 promoted in 3-4 years. Both need to shut up and listen to older more wiser soldiers before they try to take on the world.

I had an E6 who made rank so fast her first NCOER was as an E6.

Yep, it is certainly doable, top performers typically standout, the key here is to take the opportunity to improve your skill sets and earn the respect of your subordinates ,superiors and piers , never sale yourself short

Way too quick
