You could make Sgt in the Corps in about 4 years. The Army usually promotes faster, but is much larger, so you definitely wont have the brotherhood. What job are you looking at pursuing? I will tell you right now that infantry (with the purpose of ground-pounding and shooting things) does not transfer into the civilian world. Look at jobs in intelligence (analysis, language, etc), finance, military police, or possibly logistics.
And before you start badmouthing those "support" branches, realize that the Navy and Air Force are deployed doing the same jobs and filling many of the positions on the battlefield that the Army or Corps dont have the bodies to fill. Navy and AF personnel are running convoys, policing the streets of Baghdad and Kabul, and kicking butt right along side our solider and Marine brethren
