I'm just confused here. How does a SSG have 6 service stripes, that would mean he has been in for 18 plus years since each stripe represents 3 years of service. Any ideas?
Thank you,
PFC O'Hara

Unsure but he could have been in another branch of service someone who knows the specific regulations regarding service stripes

Could be for several reasons, MOS related, could had Art 15 anything could be the cause. But, most importantly its NONE of your damm business.

AMEN!!! That's the best answer yet! Prior service also. Personally I wonder how you see Senior NCO's with very few!

i did 20 years in the Marine Corps and i retired as a S/SGT and i know a lot of other Marines who retired as S.SGT and it was not fault of our own it is the way it happen in some of the MOS's And the question is coming from a PFC hell he still smells of boot camp

I had the same because the MOS I had was not promoting, read your regs and stop being a barracks lawyer

I've seen E5's retire after 20 years. Just beat your face PFC and mind your own business.

I retired a E-5 after 21 years not that uncommon certain MOS's are herd to get promoted in.

First off SSgts and above can retire at 20. It is a thing and isn't such an odd thing. I can't speak about this specific guys situation or why he has been promoted. That could be any many of things. Or his MOS doesn't promote well. Can't really speculate
