Weird Rank of the US Military

[Informant]

From what I heard the u.s. military is filling its ranks with Mexicans that want green cards and blacks that just need a paycheck for food. Not patriotic or quality people. O and tough lesbians.

My god the arrogance, look at it. You're so cool

Dumbass.

Depends on which unit of the US Army the soldier is in.

• Private (E-2) - 6 months
• Private First Class (E-3) - 1 year
• Specialist/Corporal (E-4) - 18 months
• Sergeant (E-5) - 4.2 years
• Staff Sergeant (E-6) - 8.5 years
• Sergeant First Class (E-7) - 13.6 years
• Master Sergeant/First Sergeant (E-8) - 17 years
• Sergeant Major (E-9) - 20.8 years

(Spec Ops takes 18 months) How long it takes for a soldier to rank up is dependent on the MOS and the number of vacancies there are in that job. However, Each year Congress passes the Defense Authorization Act which tells the Army how many Active Service Member it can have. On top of that it tells them the Percentage of members it can have in each C/O rank.

There's also the World Famous US Army Promotion Personnel System. Which lets not get started on.


Your just a dumb@$$. <---Insult intended

Lol, yeah, I my old pic is getting old...change is refreshing

And you are right, each grade and rank have their own promotion time, also need to know is people generally move up quicker when there are a war going on. During Vietnam war, average time from E-1 to E-5 is just 18 months...

Well, the army promotion system is seriously flawed to begin with, on one hand I saw soldier promoted to E-5 with 2 years of service, because their MOS is not congested, on the other hand I saw people with 8 or 10 years TIS and still getting no where...
