    I was a C-130 Loadmaster from 05- early 11.

    You in Charleston? I'm assuming you're a 17 loady?

    I know of guys retiring as E-6's. I put on E-6 with 7 1/2 years in. Sure, testing scores come in to play, but your AFSC/MOS can sometimes dictate where you may or may not cap out.

    Especially in the AF flying world. If you're not willing to go to instructor or evaluator upgrade training you are going to level off and not going anywhere.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    He was not ambitious. I put on E-6 at 6.5 and will have it on right at 2.5 years in feb when I finally hit 9 in TIS for E-7. Trying to get a commission this fall though.

    Maybe you were there when I went through PLDC? FEB-MAR '05. My instructors were SFC (R) Barber and some other dude I can't remember.

    Been in since 1996. Done two tours of Afghanistan with a tour of Turkey in between. Might go back to Afghanistan again next year. Whether or not we go depends a lot upon politics and a lot can change between now and February.
