SGT Private RallyPoint Member 1107629 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Just curious I was active duty for 5 years, went in to NG as an E-4. I got promoted to E-5 in NG but I been a SGT for about 3 now. If I go back active duty will I retain my E-5 going back active? I was active duty then NG, I did WLC on active duty will I retain E-5 if I go back active duty? 2015-11-13T23:18:39-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 1107629 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Just curious I was active duty for 5 years, went in to NG as an E-4.
