phan a tic 6 Posted April 3, 2018 That is assuming you were in the Military. Me = yes. Army. And even though I was an E-6 at a point, I left as a Spec 4. I know most of you didn't serve but I'm sure a few did. Anybody attain Officer status. I'm thinking no. There's a chance one of you guys made to Sergeant First Class.

My son is currently at Misawa in Japan after spending a couple years in Germany. He loves the USAF and all that he is doing. I am kinda jealous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
