Hell we already got rid of the super spcs

Used to have SPC7s

Like for instance a supply guy can have their worth for a long time without ever needing to lead

And its cheaper to pay them more to stay than it is to train a brand new guy

Thats why Army has SPC

Yeah we had them for translators and other shit. And now they have the regular promotion track. And every MOS has SPCs

So it's obsolete

As obsolete as cornet, ensign, subaltern etc

It isnt obsolete its just less useful in some mos

Then we should bring it back only for specific MOSs and eliminate it for most. Or come up with special pay like we do for medical officers, pilots, linguists etc

Except that most MOS would choose to keep it anyways. Its one of the biggest perks of choosing the army

If we get a new president and they lower the size maybe

But for how big the army is they need the E4 rank to retain people.

Otherwise they will have to restructure the payscale of every branch to make it right

We can resolve that by just giving more longevity pay for e3

The pay scale between branches already aren't right

We all use the same scale

There's e4s and e5s in the Navy doing what our e3s do. There's e3s in the Marines doing what army e6 does

Yes I know that but it's not applied equally across the board

It is when ther isnt a shortage and its working as intended

why cant i subscribe to infowars newsletter? Its not sending me the actviation email it says to look for

It's not working at all or doing anything except giving people more money when they could just get longevity raises instead of making the exact same money as someone else with more responsibility

There's Marine corporals leading squads. There's army specialists doing nothing.

The American Armed Forces being dysfunctional? Who would've guessed......

It's a clusterfuck

That's what I was trying to explain the Kekscernist but he apparently believes the military is perfect.

Haha

So did I when I signed up at 17

Your thoughts on this?

If they have really critical skills that are hard to replace

Doctors, vets, lawyers etc are already like that

Docs come in at captain if I remember right, lawyers at 1st lt and promote shortly after

Docs have came in at Captain since Korea right?

The army used to have a program where if you had experience and like two years of college you could come in as e4 or e5 in a few jobs. I think paramedics or LPNs could come in as e5 medics

College is E4 at entrance

Civilian acquired skills program

They did it for cooks too I think

And I think cops a LONG time ago

Its for everyone atm
