“38 year old E-4?”

I made E-4 at age 19, and E-5 at 20.

I made E-4 one month after turning 19. E-5 six months later, while I was still 19. E-6 was offered one month after I turned 20. MOS at that time was 32G.

“I made E-4 at age 19, and E-5 at 20.”

I made E-2 at 18, E-3 at 18 and E-2 at 19.

BTW, how do you manage to go from E-1 to E-4 in just over 1 year? I’m assuming you joined up on your 18th b’day but what about the necessary time in grade regulations?

That was kind of how I did it too. I was pretty proud of myself to make E-5 in my four year hitch...I guess that is good in a peacetime Navy.

Same here flags.
