How does an E6 have 6 service stripes?

I made sgtE5 in 21 months.

Hey kiddo, I had 6 when I retired with just over 20 years.

Prior service? I really never questioned how perhaps an inter branch transfer would work. . .running an analysis of how it could be correct if in fact it is.

Low density MOS = slow promotion rate. This looks like it could be Ft. Jackson, SC. Anyone know what bldg. #185 is?

Did he have prior service before? ETSed, and re-entered the service. That would also be possible. Depending on his age.

That’s easy he has been busted or Pryor service

Being a 42A, This is your area. You should know exactly how and why this could happen. Being a SPC I am guessing your time in service is relatively short. This question would have been better asked to your leadership in the admin arena.

I lot ass hole are on E-7 selection board Sergeant First Class is a Noncommissioned Officer in the United States Army at DoD paygrade E-7. This page describes how the Army determines who is eligible for the promotion list to Sergeant First Class. If you don't have max EER or not kiss CMS ass you wont get promo. I was SSG for 10year for making SFC . The QSP is a drawdown tool designed to align military occupational specialty populations with future requirements.

That SSG has more overseas stripes than I did and I retired with 28 years of service! He’s been deployed so much he doesn’t have time to go to college or NCOES but he sure can ruck up and deploy. Either way the Army is slowing down promotions so it’s back to the Cold War promotion timeline where SSG’s retired at 20 and it was no big deal. If you made SFC you over achieved.

He may be prior service. 2nd what about being a reservist.
