I was old school Air Force. I held the grade of E-4 Buck Sargent. I accomplished minimal time in grade, time in service plus two months in every rank to make it to E-6, Technical Sargent. I sat at E-6 till I had 15 years in when I made Master Sargent. I stayed an extra year chasing E-8. I had the number one testing slot but there were no slots available that year. Combat Comm & JCSE
Again the Space Cadets get no respect.
