I don't think fully playable means necessarily that they are going to have computers set up for people to sit down and play it at the show. Hopping on a computer and playing the game for 10 minutes wouldn't come close to what the real experience will be like anyways. Sure for a PS fanatic it would be worth it but to a skeptic or someone just hearing about the game it might not be the best way to show it off.
I'm just hoping fully playable means we are close to BETA! I'm so curious to what E3 will bring us ahhh |

It will be equally important for them to be able to simply show off the game in a working state. The scope, the assets, the functionality. The gameplay is something that can't be replicated until the game is in full swing, don't ever expect that before beta. Doesn't mean the game's not going to be in a complete, fully playable state.

Duke is right about promotion speed not being based on the length of your contract. However, there are some other factors to consider. I just finished a 7-year contract in the Army a few months ago, so the regulations and promotion system is fairly fresh in my head. The first few ranks in either the officer or enlisted route are "gimmes" and you'll get promoted automatically after a set amount of time. As long as you don't mess up in a significant way, you'll go from E-1 to E-4 within 1-2 years, which is a nice bump in pay, at least relative to the bottom of the enlisted pay scale. Once you hit E-4 (Specialist/Corporal, depending on your MOS), the most significant thing that affects promotion speed is your MOS's current promotion point cutoff. This number fluctuates depending on how many other people are current doing the same job, and what ranks they're current at. So if there are a ton of people current at the rank you're trying to earn, it will be much harder to get there (and require more points). Therefore if you choose a job that's less popular (or more dangerous), the points cutoff will be lower and you'll generally get promoted faster than your peers. As Duke said, PT score is a big part of how many promotion points you'll end up with, so keep hitting the gym whenever you can, and do sprints and endurance running often. The rest of it is stuff you'll pick up as you go, like extra college credits, various Army schools, weapons training, and stuff like that. This post has already gone way beyond the TL;DR limit, so PM me if you need any more info or tips. TL;DR - PM me for more info. |
