I could be mistaken, but I seem to remember that if it's for a medical retirement then it needs the CGs approval to bring you back. Something about new orders need to be made up or some poo poo. I assume it's a similar level of authority for other forms of ETS. They've still gotta get them to you though. I went overseas so good loving luck if they even tried to contact me.

If they want to To the best of my knowledge no, they can't pull you off leave for a urinalysis. That said, I'd just wait till it expires; that extra 60 or 90 days of no MJ won't kill you.

Over the course of the weekend he got a DUI in Fayetteville, cops found weed on him, he obviously got arrested. 82nd took him back in and started separation, never heard anything past they were starting the process of chaptering him or if he was able to fight it.

When I got to this unit, my section had 47 people working in it. Today, it has 21. I've just been informed it's about to get worse. Go Army.

A lot of MOS just don't have the same kind of turnover inherent in combat arms and other, closely-related jobs. Hence, much slower promotions.

Is getting E-7 in 7 mainly an infantry thing? I've met 2 so far, one in OCS and another is in my ABOLC class and I've met one scout SFC that got it somewhere between 7-10 years. The rest of them seem to be coming up on 20 years in.

The rest of them seem to be coming up on 20 years in. I think so. The infantry has high prestige but also high turnover and a mix of dumbass no ASVAB requirements guys with a leavening of smart philosophical killers who want to watch a man bleed out so they can write bad poetry about it some day, the perfect circumstances for a smart motivated guy to move up fast. The other branches have lower turnover, universally dumb enlistees (artillery) or they're all reasonably smart so it's hard to stand out (signal/medic).

Another thing about signal, is that sometimes you have MOSs that aren't in danger of being shut down, but have such low manning numbers you can never move up. All me about being a specialist for 7 years.

Also depends on the density of senior NCO positions. For example, there's not a lot of positions for 68W NCOs in the army as a whole above E6. But combat arms/combat support branches like infantry, FA, engineers, etc. have tons of staff NCO positions at the battalion and brigade levels.

7 in 7 is a good indicator on how much of a douche that person is. Everyone I've met has been a colossal human being.

I don't think I've ever met a 7 in 7. Closest I know is a 6 in 6 but he was a pretty cool 35F.

Speaking of, when was the last time battlefield commissions were a thing? I would assume Vietnam but the WoT has been going on for 14+ years now.

battlefield commissions were a thing when you had such high casualty rates of junior officers that you couldnt keep up using the normal commission process. looks like the last time that happened was in vietnam

My buddy made his way up to E6 in about 6 years at the age of 24. He was Psyops and had gone through two deployments, I think he was the only E-6 and the rest were a bunch of dudes who went through AIT while they were gone, everyone else ETS'd *Reserve unit*. Buddy is a helluva leader and would do anything for both his friends/subordinates so a well deserved promotion. But he said gently caress the army, got a job working for Direct TV and has a scruffy as gently caress beard. The way god intended it.
