What is e4 mafia?

The E4 Mafia is a term used in the military to refer to junior enlisted personnel, typically those at the E-4 rank (Specialist or Corporal in the Army, Petty Officer Third Class in the Navy, Senior Airman in the Air Force, and Corporal in the Marines), who have a reputation for being resourceful, skilled, and knowledgeable in getting things done and navigating the military bureaucracy.

Members of the E4 Mafia are known for their ability to work around rules and regulations to accomplish tasks efficiently and effectively. They are often seen as the go-to individuals for getting things done quickly and quietly, and are considered the backbone of many units.

The term "E4 Mafia" is sometimes used tongue-in-cheek to highlight the unofficial influence and power that these junior enlisted personnel have within their units. While their methods may sometimes involve bending the rules, the E4 Mafia is generally respected for their dedication, skill, and ability to get the job done.
