He is an E-4. I would think he would be inline for a full promotion to E-5 without being frocked. Not sure if if he can jump 2 pay grades to E-6, but if I were his boss I would try to make that happen.
I was talking with a Rescue Swimmer while on a cub scout field trip. I asked him if he had any cool rescue stories to tell the boys. (Yea, that’s back when Scouts was for actual boys)
He asked if any of us saw The Perfect Storm movie. He did some rescues during that storm and was featured in the film. Said he got a 10% bump in his pension for that, which I assume meant a healthy promotion.
