There is a middle-class gap forming right now. The Navy and Marines will offset this by just lowering the promotion standard. Airforce will hold one of the rank raffles. Don't know how it works for Army. There's going to be a steep learning curve for all the new promotions.

Coast Guard is going to have a rough time if we ever actually secure the Rio Grande. Those guys will start getting some serious trigger-time.
