E-5 in 3 years? Wow man, CTRs must be pretty open; or did you join as an E-3?
I even forgot when I made E-5, I think it was back in 03, after being in the Navy for 5 years. Joined as an E-1 though.
Keep the quota and you should make chief before you hit your 10 year mark. Great stuff! I wish you the best!
Thanks! I came in as an E-2 made E-3 out of basic. Then made E-4 first time up after A-school. and E-5 second time up. I was an E-5 at just over 2 1/2 yrs. it was 99.9% to 3rd when I tested and 34% to second when I made it. let's hope E-6 goes as smooth.

Hey, good luck to you! I went from E-1 to E-5 in 3.5 years as a BM, but have been stuck there since(not to bring you down, my Rate sucks for advancing to First). This will be my 4th test coming up. Wish you luck!
