I had a friend and fellow squad leader get a field grade article 15 and he was busted from SSG to SGT. Would he ever get E-6 again?

He definitely could have. I received a FG Art 15 in 2011 in Afghanistan for disobeying my PL. Busted down from SGT to SPC. Made SGT back in 14 months and then 11 months after pinning SGT, I pinned SSG. Don't get me wrong, it sucked. I spent a lot of time proving myself to my new PL and PSG, and the company command. It can be done though.

When you look out the window and see pigs flying, that is wh n your friend will get his E6 back.

I am just curious, why this is. My buddy got a Company Grade Article 15 as a SPC, Special Forces took him and he retired a MSG in 2005. So is it because he got the FG Article 15 as a SSG that makes it a career ender? Or have times changed since the 1980's as far as discipline?

When I entered the military in the late 1970’s, most senior NCOs wore the three D’s (Divorce, DUIs and Disciplineary Action) like a badge of honor. I know s SF NCO that retired as an E7 w/3 Article 15s. Those days are gone forever.
