I've held the rank of SGT for over six years. My father told me when he was in the USAF it was not unheard of for officers to hold the rank of Captain for up to 8 years. I met a CSM who told me he was a SSG for 8 years. What say you? Any record holders out there?

SFC for 10 and change (active). Had I rode out to RCP it would have been 13 1/2 as there was no chance of promotion.

I was a Specialist from maybe 2008 to 2014 so going on six years. Building my packet was rough since any documentation I needed took so long to get, some forms became too old and couldn't be used. Then from 2014 to 2019 I was a Sergeant so close with five and that's due to ALC always being filled for 12N. Few courses and what.....20,000 soldiers who can sign up as soon as seats are available. And courses are only done during winter months. Neat.

PFC 22 months, not enough rank to be in charge of a cleaning detail, and to much rank to have KP.

SP5 Peter Keane - Lol, KP as E-5, I never saw that before, and DRO, when doing KP, I always wondered how to get DRO, I always got "Pots & Pans", but, pealing sacks of potatoes with a knife wasn't to bad, at least you got to sit down on a big pot. Lol
