Yep...
Seen it alot also.
Some cats got all that good on paper look to some on boards.
Some on boards look for line time.
Then they all approve each others reccomendations.


Cats do a leadership position for 12 14 months

Get the EER.
Go else where 3 4 5 yrs.
Get another leadership position.

Been in positions where I had pfc,s that could run a sqd better than some E6,s coming into a unit for a EER only.

Worst ones as a whole were dudes that had been range cadre in the 29th at Benning for 4 5 6 fuuuking years and came thru e5 and E6 their.
Looking for sqd ldr check the block time to make e7.
