Favourite answer

Not easy to make Army E-6. But yes, it's very hard to make E-7.

Answer 2

E6 is decided at the battalion level. E7 and higher is Army wide. Yes, it’s harder.

Answer 3

I made E-6 in 6 years but got out shortly after that, don't know if I would have made E-7 or not if I stayed in

Answer 4

Ranks work a bit like a pyramid.  The higher you go, the fewer there are.  A person on each level generally has multiple subordinates on lower levels.  So, the higher you go, the more difficult it is to get there.

Answer 5

There are only so many cans in a six pack, E-7 is specialized, they need only so many of them.
