I believe it is about time.
Sense of entitlement should never outweigh sense of duty.
We need every one of those aircraft...Golf courses be damned !
Gotta call BS on ya there, pal. In my 22-year career, admittedly long since over, I saw ONE guy make E-6 on his first enlistment, and he was a Six-year enlistee who came in as E-3.
Somewhere around 8 to 10 years to E-6 would be considered good progression in todays USAF. First enlistment E-6? No way!
