I'm sure that most reasons as to why you have not yet been signed on have been explored here; I just thought my experience may be of some interest.
When I was promoted last it took me a while to convince the powers that be to make me substantive, I believed that promotion from Sgt to CT had no "Acting" rank in the process, however after not receiving my increase in pay for about four months I started banging on the JPA door, after many a frustrating attempt to speak to someone from the mythical "back office" I finally was told that I was only acting CT pending system update by the Promotions Cell at PMA. I then set about finding someone at PMA/ACOS Manning who may be of some help or at least interested. After further two months of pestering I eventually found out that because I hadn't completed the multiskilling package I could not advance in rank as that was a condition of promotion! Fortunately I had retained the copy of the X annotation form that I had received after taking some poxy leckie exam that now qualifies me less than I was as a proper splitter, and faxed it off to them. Pretty quickly JPA was amended correctly and my back pay arrived in the following pay chit.
The lesson being is that I suggest that you and all your fellow Acting Cpls check that you have actually completed all of the prerequisite quals that are associated with substantive promotion within your trade. I would suggest that you raise a JPA query on line, as once you right to them officially they tend to reply giving you quite succinct answers; just make your questions to them as plain as possible.

Good luck!

Thank You for your advice. I have completed all courses and they are all on JPA. Your JPA query on line seems to be worth a shot though.

Off Topicbut it's time all these processes were subject to the quality world IMO.

Thanks everyone, I've thoroughly enjoyed reading these 5 pages. These forum subjects were getting boring but some of you clowns have made my day. From what I've read this question was sensibly answered quite early on, and it was down to the originator to pursue a straight foward course of action on his acting rank status, how the Belgrano and Nimrod 4a came into it I dont know, but it brightened up a miserable day in southern England. Thanks

It was answered very early, despite the atrocious wording of the original question.

It's just a shame that supplyordie decided to attack TMG rather than thanking him, making himself look like a grade A twit and less likely to be offered help in the future.

This is a virtual Tbar, not the Samaritans; if you can't take a little hammer, GTFO.
