Delightful story, part of a wider universe and future novel I hope. I was a Navy man. If there was a junior mafia at all it was the E-5's. Many thought that paygrade E-5 was the best place to be. Not too senior, not too junior. Just right. Many were content to ride out 20 years in that paygrade. I always thought the best rank was Chief Petty Officer or Chief Warrant Officer. Still, the best paygrade is the one you are in, doing a fantastic job and the bosses like and respect you and push good things your way.
