In retrospect, that seems to have been a rather good call.

Oh, fuck off.  You know damned well how the military promotion system works.  Un-Like those who were promoted be-fore me, I did my own college and correspondence works, and was actually capable of "shooting expert" with-out a bit of "fudging" on the part of my "grader."  You'd have to look to Enron to find a system more open to corruption.

I don't know about Army but you can't be a 44 year old E-5 in the Corps; unless he was recently busted.  And promotion system is based entirely on point, very difficult to game it - to drop someone down to a lower conduct or proficiency score you have to formally charge them.

My point.  I wonder if this soldier was an obvious major fuck up waiting to happen.
