LTC Stephen C. - I did not realize you were enlisted or forgot Steve. You came in as an E4?

I enlisted on 9AUG69 as a private E1, Bill! Didn’t even have mosquito wings! For some reason, my profile doesn’t show all ranks. I listed them all though, starting at E1! Here’s my RP profile as shown on my cell phone.

Many thanks, CPL John C. Lynch. I just put one foot in front of the other and was fortunate.

As one who was "Hard Striped", it wasn't because I completed PNCO and been to the Board (yeah, I'm old) it was because I was in a Leadership position and filling an NCO role. The rank needs to reflect the job being done.
