    Technical Sergeant from Wikipedia

    Technical Sergeant, or Tech Sergeant, is the sixth enlisted rank (E-6) in the U.S. Air Force, just above Staff Sergeant and below Master Sergeant. A technical sergeant is a non-commissioned officer and abbreviated as TSgt. Official terms of address are "Technical Sergeant" or "Sergeant", although many use "Tech Sergeant".

    I bet that PFC's deployment sucked.

    That was by the end of the deployment- he joined during the deployment, and 4 SGTs were promoted during the deployment, so it wasn't sooo bad.

    My point was that, due to stabilizing units during the deployment, we effectively employed those SGTs as SP5s until we returned, reset and reorganized.

    I get where you're going. A similar dynamic emerged in my headquarters "platoon" when I was an XO on a deployment. At one point, we were 95% Chiefs and 5% Indians. We had to hammer home the point that duties were doled out on the basis of duty position, rather than rank. Otherwise, one PFC would have been doing PMCS on every vehicle. This also helped to clarify to them why I did not become a co-commander after being promoted to CPT - a concept that seemed to mystify them.
