Cool How long did it take you to make company cdr.

This is my second year in JROTC and I am already company comander with the rank of c/Captain. I made the largest jump in rank in the last 15 years at my school. I was a c/SSG.

Correction you are a C/CPT and you were a C/SSG.

And in answer to your question, it took me about 6 years to become a Troop Commander.

Drop the "T", it is only C/SSG and you were either a C/PV1, PV2 or PFC, no such thing as a "pvt"

The Army uses a three letter designator (except for two General ranks, BG and MG)

It goes like so:

PV1
PV2
PFC
SPC
CPL
SGT
SSG
SFC
MSG
1SG
SGM
CSM

WO1
CW2
CW3
CW4
CW5

2LT
1LT
CPT
MAJ
LTC
COL
BG
MG
LTG
GEN

And now you know...

I'd hate to correct you PhilK, but there is a PVT, not a PV1, and that's on the Army website

I was on the Goarmy website

http://www.goarmy.com/about/ranks_and_insignia.jsp

on the Army.mil site if you go here: http://www.army.mil/symbols/Enlisteddescriptions.html

You can see it as PVT there also

Edit: I've been doing some research and on multiple websites, I see it being referred to as PVT and PV1. I can't find anything that says either one if the official usage, and seeing as on the army.mil website they have PVT and PV1, i can only presume both are correct. I'll keep searching though, I'd like to know for sure.
