    18 months from the date of their original commission - its about 6 months after they arrive to their first duty station because of all the schools they get after their commission

    Re: the Army's newest

    nope, its a standard 18 months

    battlefield promotions, etc - no longer exist - thats a "draft army" thing.....quite a bit different in an all volunteer army

    they do have fast track promotions for specialties like doctors and nurses, etc - they pretty much go straight in as captains

    You need to post the original pic from way back in the day with that pose the boys are doing.

    Well done on your boys Jon. My second to youngest is at Ft. Hood right now fixin' to deploy to Afghanistan on December 23. He just made Spec 4 so he's happy.

    You done good.

    Pretty Cool JK. My Cousin's Hubby was with us this weekend at my Uncle's Funeral. He's 20+ in and a lifer. He's done his last tour. Great guy who we are all very proud of. It's good to see some of our newest and finest. Thanks for sharing the pic. All the best to your Son and the other LTs.
