How long does it take you guys to get promoted over there!!!
2 years from 0 to Sgt !?!?!
You gotta be kidding right?
Over here, you'd make L/Cpl (Lance Corpral) in 2 years...

It is quite possible he made E-5 from E-1 in 6 years, which is the most common enlistment period. Then again, he could have made it a lot faster. He has college credits so he could have enough to come in as an E-4. He could have been prior service. He could have been in the ARNG while in school. Whoever said it took him less than or equal to 6 years? He could be on his 3rd enlistment, he doesn't look that young.
On another note, he wasn't the only veteran there:
