Due to the Army's downsizing, is it still possible to be "high-speed" and fast track through the enlisted NCO ranks?

Obviously it's going to be a lot of hardwork, being square away, and pt. Does it get to a point where it's about "who you know" rather than "what you know".

It absolutely is. Pay attention, do what's right, better yourself and contribute to the organization's overall end state. It will all pay off.

One thing about "who you know". Yes, who you know does play a part of career advancement, but it's more about the reputation you develop. If you are known as a hard worker and a competent Soldier, people will know. And at senior and nominative levels, believe me, people will ask their buddies about you before they take you on to their team.

It is, I have seen those who have and it all depends on how fast you made that Staff Sergeant rank because then you go to centralized board for promotions after that. Everything depends on TIG/TIS, being high speed helps but you still have to meet those TIG/TIS.
