Congrats to everyone that made it. I just got out of the navy this past week. Finally a cvilian again, and it feels so good.

The guys who made E5, it was their 6th time taking the E5 exam and was also the first time they advanced off a test. (did not re-enlist for E5)

I made it in 5 tests. I had been an E4 for over 3 years at that point. Nuke EM's don't advance as fast as you'd think (all of us that advanced have been in just over 4 years, with the difference being the 2 that re-enlisted went to E6 and the 2 that didn't, E5).

I just recently picked up Seargent, and am now considering re-enlisting, and going to Oki, that will set me up nice to go to HMX when I come back in a couple of years.

Whatchu mean? We make rank too fast?

There's a guy I know retiring (20 yrs) within 6 months as an E-6, another one retiring E-7, and plenty getting out between 12-16 yr point as an E-6.

On the other hand, there ARE those select few making E-7 BEFORE their 6 year point, and more making it between 6-7 years. They just got all their shit in one basket ya know?

I guess if you want to call that "fast". Im guessing the pay grades and eligibility is a lot different in the AF,but in the army..ive seen people make their E-6's with like 5-7 years IN,in their mid-early 20's.And people make their E-8's and 9's with 15 years In. Our 1sg right now,made his E-6,E-7,and E-8 all within a 2 year span between each rank.
