Below the Zone.

Depends on who you were. For some, it was referred to in less than glowing terms. You knew what I meant.

I haven't gotten more respectful since I've been out.

And no, I was an upright/uptight (mostly) airman during my first enlistment.

During my second (after 9/11) I was somewhat less so.

I was much more effective my second rodeo, though.

Yeah...anyway, back to making E-5 in 3-4 years. There is no Below the Zone to E-5.

No, four striper, not four stripper. Four stripper describes a club I used to visit in Des Moines.

You have to make E-4 before you make E-5.

There was an E-4 Sgt the first time I was in. Now it's SrA to SSgt, and Sgt doesn't exist.

Lots of stuff has changed.

The guy will eventually commit suicide.

He has messed up every way possible. Deserter, captive, taliban bitch, obastard accomplice, screwed up family. You name it, he has messed it up.

How about calling him: “Prisoner 4735212”?

I don’t know...I made E5 in 3-4 years, and thought I was pretty average. But that was back in the seventies, maybe things are different now.

I did and it was easy, I was only the one in my unit to be promoted to E-6 and the only one on base to E-7.
