i have a question i hope someone can help with..my husband is just going to move up to e-4 soon and was just curious what an e-5 is(title) and how long does it take to move up to that level...a few years, months...i dont really know about this stuff and was curious.

This sounds like a good conversation to have with your husband. It will show that you're interested in him and his career, and that you support him.

An E-5 is a Staff Sergeant.
