"9 years and he was still a Sergeant. That in and of itself was reason enough to RIF that pogue."

A.A., I'm not sure what his MOS was, but in the grunts it's hard to make rank. I didn't make staff until after 10 years and I'm sure there are plenty of 9 year sergeants in the grunts. On the other hand, some MOS's I remember it was easy to make rank. I remember the guys in intel (0200 field) were Sergeants after 4 years and staff after about 7 years.

Policy not too long ago was that if wou weren’t selected for Staff after eight years you were RIFd, regardless of MOS. Stein is an IT puke with plenty of time on his hands to take MCI courses out the wazoo to pad his cutting score. I’ll bet that a look at his fitreps would tell quite a story. He’s a s***bird plain and simple.
