Not usuak anymore—if a SNCO isn’t promoted wuthin a certain time period he is not allowed to ship over (reenlist).

Gotta be competitive—up or out I believe they call it.

B4 WWII it was common for privates even to retire with 20 or ecven 30 years service—corporals and buck sergeants even more common.

Not yer grand daddy’s America anymore—more like 0’pinhead’s we the folks now.

Thanks Gunny. I just thought it might be unusual for a former Marine DI to retire an E-6.

I believe it’s called “promoted to their level of incompetence”.
