Mark,
Well.................
The promotion system in the bands has been fluid. In the average military band the last word I heard was that promotions have stalled somewhat.....and this is coming from the folks who do all their extra courses and additional military training. Time in service doesn't always guarantee steady promotion.
Now the DC bands are different than the rest of their respective services. Back in the day we referred to their promotion system as "blood stripes." You kinda had to wait for someone to die, or retire to move up in rank (the idea is that there is a specific number of each rank allowed.....ya can't have "too many chiefs and too few indians"). Of course many folks stay 20 (or 30) in these bands but they all must finally retire.
..............Paul Aviles
