Nice summary!

Especially troublesome are the "Mail order ranks" (Neckermann-Dienstgrade) where specialists start at a higher rank. Instant feldwebels are simply not taken serious by real NCOs.
What the...? I did not even know that such things existed. Are they spared from basic training, or do they run it at already higher ranks?

I have a loose contact to two officers, who both have had time in Afghanistan. One of them said "We are running lower and lower on good seargents." I need to ask him next time if he meant it regarding quality, or quantity.
