For those that the Cpl-Sgt (CIS tech) promotion board applies to, (the one that sat a few months ago), PMA are now pulling names off the list. Good luck to those that made it.

On the subject of boards, the advertised promotion board for Sgt-FS scheduled for early next year WILL go ahead. Early rumour control of a promotion drought were ill founded. Gen straight from TS

And in what universe are we supposed to believe anything the trade sponsor says anymore ???

If the TS has news why is he spreading it through just you m8. Do the rest of us not matter ? ... Oh yes sorry I forgot I`m ex-TG3 I don`t matter or exist anymore ... my mistake :PDT_Xtremez_06:

One of the lads here rang the desk yesterday to find out if he was being released (he came ninth) they said no as they were only releasing 3 cis tech cpl to sgt, but seven IM's just what you want to hear.

Hmmm. I really thought they would have taken this opportunity to bring some parity to the situation, particularly as a tech is linked to 100% of TG4 posts and an IM is linked to 80%.

Is this another opportunity gone begging?

Emmm.....Is this true, can you work in a Commcen.......Think not! What about DATO, no didnt think so. Perhaps you could do flight watch......wrong again. So not 100% at all, in fact only a small percentage of IM posts. If you are not happy, re-muster, time to make a choice, either be a tech for ever and hope for promotion or move over to IM and stand better chance of getting promoted! I know its not fair, but at the end of the day its the millitary and service needs come first, so we can complain all we like but highly unlikley we will make any difference.
 
I don't fully agree with you mate there, although i'm ex TG11, there are a few TG3's scattered in DATO's and one or two in charge of Commcens, we are slightly off topic hear, but i'd have to say (as much as it hurts) they are going to be slightly more on the 100% of our trade. I don't want to work on one of those big stinky radars, good luck to them. Merry Crimbo

Are you sure?

I am sure most of us can do those jobs, but I am not even going there.

I was told the main reason for the no promotion was no juniors to fill the gaps.
But looking at the figures in the latest PMA stuff SAC (cistechs) are hugely overmanned. Cpls are 110% manned. So this should not effect our promotion.
compared to the SAC IMs @ 86% manned ?

Seems like the way forward is to promote all the overbourne CIS TECHS into IM SGT slots and joint role them until you get enough people in, then you can show us how difficult it is to send an order to BT Mr DATO or use a radio Mr Flight watch?

Sorry mate, but you are mistaken. As others have said, there are already techs in numerous posts that were traditionally TG11. Additionally, the figure I used is taken from what TS work on.
 
I'm originally TG3 - now doing IM SNCO role (helpdesk, crypto..etc) as well as looking after the more tech aspects of the section. Sits ok with me. We're not all massive whingers :PDT_Xtremez_31:
 
I have placed this link on other forums, but it seems more relevant here.

http://www.pma.innsworth.raf.r.mil.uk/live/Manning/22c-Promotions/GroundTrades.htm

It gives all of the details for past and future promotion boards for all ground trades. It also includes some of the past Chairman reports from the promotion boards so that people can see why some of the F6000 are failing to get them promoted.
As you can probably guess i'm TG3 - sorry TG4! and I'm waiting for the Sgt-FS board, which according to the website is sitting on 11-14 Feb 08 with a pre-board quoter of 15, which like everything else means probably 1 if we are lucky!

Then you shouldn't really be looking at getting your tapes for 5 years anyway.
 
DEJA Vu?

DEJA Vu?

Dont think there are any CPL CIS TECH slots for the foreseable future. Dont think they are even thinking about having anyone back for FT for you lot either are they?

Wing boy is right by the way.
I think it will be back to the 6 yrs from passout to sniff of promotion and then you will have to be good.

Hope you get on okay with the "Look after your ID on the Net lesson" I assume you have yet to do that?
I do hope 761 is not your last three?
 
no nae tht thick lol. just random numbers i have used for ages. some courses have been told that thay could hit promorion in 4 years because of the downfall in CIS IM slots.
