Thanks guys.

Interesting to see how you guys promote over there.

Now I can see how you have 20 year old Sgts.

Over here, its also promotion on performance / slots and you must have completed the appropriate quals / courses before you can be made up.

However it is a LOT slower to get promoted.

A board reviews all of your qualifications, performance, etc. The NG is a lot different, it is based solely on points called STPA.

It takes some guys a lot longer than others. There are many factors to consider. One of the driving forces for faster promotions in the Infantry for example is that we are at war. Men die, get injured, ETS, and the slots need to be filed. Right now I know many privates who are doing an NCOs job. Sometimes you just have to cover down.
