I've seen gold E-5's and I have to wonder. We had a guy, OS2 Powell, with gold second class chevrons. He only recently made first. I think if I were ever a gold second I wouldn't let anyone know.
The Air Force on the other hand is lucky to make E-6 in 12 years. That's how bad their promotion is. I knew a guy, FC1 Wolfe, picked up first class last year and it took him less than 4 years to make E-6. In the Navy it isn't unheard of, but the Air Force it would be impossible considering the USAF is a such a cake-ass military branch no one leaves so there's no room for promotion.

I did read your post.

And I replied...

I figured you meant to write a different title, but I just wanted to point that out to you.

heh... not quite what I was going for UM. Myself, like most sailors, just like to make fun of the Air Force whenever possible. It's not serious, more like friendly rivialary. In the end, we realize we're all on the same team.
It's not just limited to them either, the Marines for example, Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential. Or My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment.

My old Chief (E-7) MMC Lenz made E-7 in 6 years, the one I had after him AOC Meers made it in 9.
