Rank among SFQC grads
I’m a QP but went through SFQC a long time ago and was medically discharged in 1993, so I’m seriously out of the loop now. So hopefully I’m not too far off base asking this one here.
In a comment on military dot com someone posted that everyone wearing the long tab was an E-6 or higher. That sounds odd to me so I thought that I’d ask it here. At the point when a candidate graduates SFQC are they promoted to a certain pay grade? What is the lowest rank that someone can be at the point in their career that they’re awarded the long tab?

Well, MTOE for an ODA is E6 is the lowest rank.
Active duty Army going through the Q course, rank can vary, from E5 through E7.
18Xrays, generally start OSUT as an E1 - E3. They may make up to #4 in the course though, maybe even E5.
Yes, the Q course is absurdly to long now.

I was an E-3 (might even have been an E-2) when I graduated. Can't remember as I'm too damned old...too damned tired and don't GAF. I was also a knucklehead and probably didn't have any business around the guys for a couple of years until I matured.... (some would say I still need to mature).

In '88-'89 a lot of us were E-5/6 and some E-4Ps but everyone either showed up to graduation as an E-6 or E-5 after MOS changes and language course.
I did have a few E-5s under me on teams during the '90s but we got everyone promoted to E-6 pretty quickly.
I retired before they brought back the X-Ray program so never saw someone below E-5 on a team and not for long.

X-rays are E-3 and E-4 going to Sage but by graduation after language they all show up to Group as E-5's. this has been the trend for the last few years.

I was an E-4 upon SFQC graduation. Was promoted to E-5 the same time I arrived to a Special Forces company / A-Team.
So if the Long Tab were out then I'd been wearing it at E-4.

What in the world is a "long tab?" When is it awarded?
I read it on many posts and is something I should know, but I don't. Inquiring minds want to know.
