Fill a 6-inch pot with a mixture of equal parts coir or peat moss, perlite and potting soil. Pour water into the pot until the mixture is wet and water begins to trickle from the drainage holes at the bottom. Set the pot in a shaded location to drain while gathering a Lady Banks rose cutting. Pick out a 4- to 6-inch-long cutting from the tip of a vigorous cane. Choose a softwood cutting with plenty of bright green leaves at the tip and a pliant, 1/8-inch-thick stem with no hardened bark at the base.
Therefore, an Army master sergeant, E8, with 18 years made $4,767.60 and an Air Force master sergeant, E-7, with the same time made $4323.90. Similar to the Army, the Marine Corps' master sergeant rank is considered an E-8 and thus is paid the same as an Army master sergeant.
For example, if an E-9 retires in a certain MOS, that means that one E-8 can be promoted to E-9, and that opens an E-8 slot, so one E-7 can be promoted to E-8, and so-forth. If 200 E-5s get out of the Marine Corps in a particular MOS, then 200 E-4s can be promoted to E-5. The Marine Corps has 154,348 enlisted members on active duty. Here's how it breaks down, by enlisted rank: Private (E-1) - 9,671 (6.3%) Private First Class (E-2) - 20,625 (13.4%) Lance Corporal (E-3) - 43,141 (30.0%)
