Found out I made the advancement list for E5 this morning. Pin on Gunners Mate Second Class on April 1st. I spent my Army time as an E4 and never desired to be an E5 in that mess. (US Army Europe - I need not say more). I've been on a list for 8 months now waiting in the Coast Guard. I made Specialist in the Army in 2001 and lateralled over to the USCG in Feb of 2003.

Good deal Smiddy.
Will you graduate to a real boat now, or do you still have to play with the toy boats in the bathtub? |

 My dad was in the Navy and I was in the Army. He always used to say that our (the Army's) stripes were "upside-down"  RIP Dad

Good deal, making rank was a bitch in some rates when I was in the Navy.
Now if we could only figure out how to tack that crow on over the net

So when are you going to join the military?
My son sews his rocker on in August also. Almost didn't take the test, made the TIG and TIS requirements only by a week or two, and based on past cycles didn't think they would go for too many in his field. He figured he didn't do too well on the test, a lot of B-52 questions and he works on F-16s. I can sure remember the days in the Navy when some rates didn't make any E-7s or up for years at a time. |
