I understand that, but in my campaign we used that those who still held the ranks of E1 to E3 where normally held by draftees who just didn't have the want/desire or ability to advance higher in the ranks. Since this was wartime instead of peacetime miltiary force with the 'Up or Out' requirements... it wasn't a problem to still be a private after 4+ years.
It goes with the addition of the following letters at the end of their SSN...
RA (Regular Army, regular volunteer 'career' soldier)
AUS (Army of the United States, draftee)
OR (Officer reserves)
ER (Enllisted reserves)
NG (National Guard)
USN (US Navy)
USMC (US Marine Corps)
USAF (US Air Force)
USCG (US Coast Guard)
