Hey all,

I am after some advice before i start the official ball rolling (i'm hoping to get some good gen so i i have half an idea what i am doing and not going to make an a$$ of myself)

However! I am seriously considering changing trades, preferably Personnel Support (what was PSF!) or working within a C4i, as i enjoy computing.

Can you tell me:

Can i re-trade?

Would i lose my rank? My pay level? My pension? (would i have to transfer to the new one?)

Anyone know what different job specs there in a C4i?

How do i actually start the ball rolling? (Trip to the AFCO?)

Sorry if the questions are bone, but i really don't want to start sniffing around officially until i have sourced whether what i am asking is actually do able!!!

Need to know what trade you are now.
 
As Vim says, with out knowing your trade, I dont think we can give any advice. I will say, unless it has all changed, that you always had to re trade higher unless it was for medical reasons.

Not that the job your in is to tough and now everyone else is on a higher band you would rather sit with the girlies in HR :PDT_Xtremez_42:
 
RAFP.

Reasons i want to move (and some i haven't mentioned) is that it isn't the trade i once knew. I joined to Police, meet people, help people etc,

Now you are normally single crewed, working different hours day to day and don't really come into contact with people!!

See PSF

See PSF

Go and see PSF, they'll tell you the gen.
RAF Police is normally an oversubscribed trade whilst Pers (Support) isn't, you might have a good chance of coming over to gods trade.
 
Once a scuffer always a scuffer ! lol i doubt if it will be approved and i doubt your boss will be impressed.
 
You can't retrade as a substantive Cpl unless it is a promulgated service trawl (ie service reasons). Look in AP under Remuster.

that's not good news. But this is why i asked first rather than going to PSF/my boss and making an a$$ of myself.
