You get what I am saying It may be the same in the army I just remember it was at least two. I dont care how smart a person is Colin powell did not even move that fast and he served a few tours in Vietnam! That man I might add should be president of the U.S.!

But weren't you a cook Mr.Chef?

You know very well I'm not going to scan my DD214 and post it. I have 2 BTW. What part of either would tell you the dates I made rank? So what you really want is for me to post my promotion orders. I'm not going to do that either and you know it.
I joined as an E-3 in 1982 and my contract stated I made E-4 when I completed basic/OSUT. 12 months later I made E-5. Stayed an E-5 for 24 months but was on E-6 list when I ETS'ed in '85.
Finished my BSW in 87 and my MSW in 89 while in the NG. By this time I am an E-6 with 14 months TIG. (Not in my primary MOS)
October of 90 I go back in in my primary (19k) for DS, still an E-6. Promoted to E-7 May of 91. Discharged 02 Sept 91. I don't really care if you believe it or not. That is my service history.

Makeas way more sense than E7 in three years. O.k.

You would have to be crazy to be a cook They are always the first ones up in the a.m. and the last ones to check in at night! Screw that!

Served in Desert Storm(FA) and spent a total of 8 years and 2 months in service with active duty and reserve. Nothing is ever as good as it seems or as bad as it seems...I served on everything but 155mm towed howitzers...
