Manning have been proudly running this way since 1918! Good luck to those lucky enough to get selected for the predicted 40 slots, given the last two boards have fallen short of the prediction try not to take it as set in stone though...RE the old TCW/90 debate - we've heard it all before. From my time there there were some good guys who did deserve to get picked up, given they had actually worked and not just dished out the odd mobile phone/fax machine as DATO at RAF Sleephollow. There were also some dubious guys who clearly got picked up under the old scheme of "he's so sh1t if he gets picked up he's out of my hands".There are always three options if you're in the mindset of 90SU getting the lions share of promotions:1 - join 90.2 - be bitter.3 - kiss ass more/polish the bosses brass. I hear from a bloke down the pub this can work too.It'll never work. That system employs common sense and we can't have that in HM Armed Forces now can we?
