"Military ranks." Topic

Seems that a lot of fellow members have been/are in the Army/Navy etc.
Just curious to know which was the higher rank each one of them achieved?

In my case, was easy…sublieutenant for less one year.

Of course this include police, Coast Guards, etc.

Thanks in advance for you participation. (smile)

Gunner first class. I should have made corporal, but unfortunately was caught during illegal leaving camp for a bar (and the four of us also illegal drove a jeep doing that).
I served for 21 months as a radiotelegraphist (I am speaking of 1966-1968).

Started as an army private and retired as a major.

Larry

Cryptologic Technician Interpretive Second Class (Russian Language)

Yep, that was my official rating.

Rank was Petty Officer Second Class

I had enough money to go to college after that, so I decided not to re-up.

I know there are a couple "Full Bird" types around. I was a "crusty" Captain

I got out of the Marine Corps as a Gunnery Sgt.

Staff Sergeant.

Conscripted grunt in the Danish mandatory service. (9 months).

Staff sergeant

Navy Lieutenant. Got my leg fouled up and was medically disqualified from sea duty.

Same as Irish. USMC Gunnery Sgt.

I'm still under the official secrets act so cannot comment

U.S. Air Force – Master Sergeant – 1970-1990

Professional civilian

Congrats Sajiro and thanks to all who served!

Marines-Corporal
Army-Sergeant First Class

Operations NCO

US Air Force Senior Master Sergeant retired.

E-4 Specialist (Promotable). I made Sergeant E-5 but was not given the rank due to the fact I was getting out of the Army because of my service-acquired disability…

Staff Sergeant

started enlisted as an E-3/Private First Class since I had some college before enlisting – left active duty as a 1st Lieutenant – promoted to Captain in the US Army Reserve

Colonel. Full bird, U.S.Army held it for just over two years before I hit my mandatory retirement date.

Sajiro Congratulations- don't hold back on either getting a command or the War College. (though both will impact your gaming time)

USMC Corporal

Signaler, part-time (Territorial army) for about 18 months. My original squadron got axed a little bit over a year after I joined so I transferred to one of the regiment's other squadrons but it was a PITA to get to (actually, more of a problem to get home from after weekday training nights – I missed the last train twice out of the eight times I went there) so I quit. If I'd been able to stick around they were considering me for officer training.

I salute any person who has the balls to serve their country, no matter what rank, it's all good.

LTjg, USN.

CPT, US ARMY Infantry, '79-'90 + 1 year USAR Mil Intel …

Staff Sergeant.

Specialist E-5, a rank that I am told no longer exists in the US Army. The base pay was the same as a sergeant but the responsibilities were (theoretically) different. My speciality was demolition: explosions of all sizes, with the occasional arson thrown in.
