Enlisted Promotions are slowing down; so are some of the Officer promotions.

It is said that the personnel in the ranks are getting promoted to quickly and not growing with the promotion. We all know that our tactical skill levels have increasd, while our garrison has not. HRC is now looking at someone being primed to be a MSG at 20 years, why was this not true in the past. As I work with a GS employee that made it to the steps of the SMA 16 years and pinned at 17. BLUF: What is the difference between NCOs now and NCOs of a earlier generation?

SFC Jolly,

I just had an NCO pin on E-6 this week. She has less than 5 Yrs time in service. and only 1 deployment. while we also had a soldier pin on E-5 after having 10+ years in with 3 deployments. Its all about how hungry you are.
