What's the most time in service a Marine Staff Sergeant can hypothetically have?
I ask this because I saw a Staff Sergeant's jacket at Salvation Army a couple of months ago. I told the manager and promptly the chevrons were removed. Though they left the six hashmarks on, but I didn't want to be a jerk about that since they were so nice about the chevrons.
But today I thought about that again, and six hashmarks seems excessive. Maybe the good Staff Sergeant ended his first term a Lance Corporal. But shouldn't he have made Sergeant during his third term at the latest? Would they allow him to stagnate at Staff Sergeant for 12 years?

Staff Sergeant is a RANK E6 To spend 20 years and retire you have to make E7
There is no way a Staff Sergeant ended his first time as a Lance corporal unless he was Busted.
Promotions are based on time in service, Good performance Marks and a recommendation from your commanding officer.

SSGT is an E-6
Sgt is an E-5
2. High year tenure for an E-6 is 20 years service but they can be denied reenlistment before 20 years, if they have been passed over for promotion to E-7 twice
3. but high year tenure changes, based on the needs of the marine corps -- so if a bunch of NCO's are separating and they need more NCO's
they increase high year tenure and allow nco's to stay in longer without being promoted.

The Reserve has much different requirements which is probably who this belonged to
