Hi 252

No such thing as AR anymore, we're all ATAV's in TG1 and a JT/SAC(Tech) is paid between £24,074-£28,939.

Hope that helps!DT_Xtremez_30:

Hi Oberon305

Thanks for replying,have you any idea what end of that scale it would be if i had been a JT when things changed and was still a JT now(a most probable senario)

I am a war pensioner and am trying to find out what my maximum earnings
can be before it affects my Lower Standard of Living Allowance.

Was told by Veterans Agency in 3 Feb 2005 that my equivilent wage was
24,624 Quid a year so guess it must be nearer the top end now.

P.S. thanks for your support in the introductions forum,it would seem that
"sense of humour failure"is still alive and well in a small proportion of todays troops.

Thanks again 252

As long as you are recommended for promotion you can get up to the higher level of £28000. There are 9 pay levels for SAC/JT and the top 2 are the same as the bottom 2 for Cpls, so you have to have a minimum of a Rec to get there (although the appraisel system has changed now as well but you don't need to know that). You go up a level every year as long as there is a level you are eligible to move into available, so I would say from your previous post about always being a JT the answer to your question is probably notDT_Xtremez_26:but if you could have got that recommended then yes.

Thanks JOE 90

That tells me i probably woudnt be classed as 8or 9.

To try another tack,do you(or anybody else) know what the pay rises for junior ranks have been in percentages from(and including)2005 to the present day?

Thanks for your help 252

To be fair you probably would have made level 9, I know of at least one Chief who felt sorry for a lad and took on his assessment as the Snec was going to, quite rightly, crucify him. I don't know what it was like in your day but assessment creep became so bad in the mid to late nineties that they were almost meaningless, mediocre JTs bitching because they hadn't received Spec Recs and the like.
