Is it possible to get promoted this quickly in the Air Force? Is this typical for band members?

LOL and there were those complaining about A1C getting promoted 2 ranks for his heroic act. More to chip away on the honor of the armed forces of this great nation. When can this stop? So know it does not matter the technical knowledge and doing something brave, but do something really stupid, like, I don't know, desert your post, or bring a look alike bomb to school, or "sing beautifully" and you get first class treatment and rules and regulations overlooked.

Suspect..... something not right

Look at Elvis Presely. I believe in two years he was a E-6, Staff Sergeant.

Let's all not for get 1SGT Katrina Moerk receiving an ARCOM for trolling online chat rooms...

This is not the military I was in 23 years ago.... :P back then, a day without a constant stream of profanity and vulgarity was like a day without sunshine. Back then, cadence was filthy when nobody was looking, and MREs were Meals Refused by Ethiopians...

maybe she just passed the walking test in record time...

who gives a shit. focus on your own M.O.S. and don't worry about what a *BAND MEMBER* is ranked. This is about PAY GRADE.

Bull %#&$, another example of the military and country going the wrong direction

The Air Force promotion system has been broke for a long time. As long as they continue to decide to promote across AFSC at the same percentage, there will always be problems with losing the best. They need to figure out a way of cross training AFSCs to promote the elite to move forward as leaders.

That's pretty crazy to have such rank just because you can sing, I can color inside of the lines does that qualify for General.

This burns my ass! Rank is earned! 4 months!! Been in 15 years and earned my fuckin stripes! I could see mayyyybe Ssgt but Tsgt!!! SMFH!

Is this for real? As a soldier I obeyed the commands of anyone with a rank higher than mine, even if they weren't in my chain of command or branch of service! No wonder AF gets the brunt of jokes. SMH.
