What is this time in grade BS that you don't know anything about? You were too busy slithering around to know anything about the service,

oh, my....You've never heard of time-in-grade?

https://airforce.fastport.com/AF/advancement/Database?p%5BProfileID%5D=129&p%5Bv

     Airman Basic (E-1) is eligible for promotion to Airman (E-2) with 
six months' time-in-grade.
     E-2 is eligible for promotion to Airman First Class (E-3) with 10 
months' time-in-grade.
     E-3 is eligible for promotion to Senior Airman (E-4) within 18 to 
24 months' time-in-grade (depending on earlier promotions).

Seems like Johnny may be right, you never _were_ in the airforce.
