Promotion potential would have remained about the same for your branch during and through the surges. About 2012-2014 he probably would have been guided to retirement if he had not done so himself already. SFC Marc W.

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&#39;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.
