I made E-5 Sergeant in just under 4 yrs and made the cut-off to get promoted to E-6 Staff Sergeant but didn't have enough time left, I had less than 4 mos to ETS, I would've had to extend for at least a year to get pinned. That's o.k., my DD214 says E-6!
It was a pleasure serving my country and meeting great people from all around.
ps. My father retired from the Navy after 20 plus yrs. and my brother served 4yrs in the Marines, two of that in Vietnam and served 16 yrs in the Air Force Reserves.
So our family has a four of the branched covered, maybe someday someone will join the Coast Guard.
