My Q school class, 1969, was mostly E-3's and E-4 and we went to group with that rank.
AFTER our class, all subsequent graduates were given E-5 at graduation.
All E-5 allocations went to training group grads, so the men I graduated with were outranked by their juniors for a year or more.
I know this is ancient history, I served on an ODA as a Spec4, 19 years old and spent too many days on KP, Guard duty and aggressor detail, junior rank you know.
It's all good now, 45 years later.
