Trade sponsor

[Parky]

Seeing as my re entering the service is now in the hands of the Trade sponsor anyone know him who can let me know what he is like without breaking Persec.

I have heard he had alot to do with the changing of the paybands and fought hard for the guys in trade for this.

Fat controllers time as trade sponsor is drawing to a close, he's being replaced very soon, if not already.

If you're an ex TG11 you'll be alright with him anyway.

 

[Parky]

Cheers for that i just hope he will give me a fair crack of the whip. The illness that forced my Med discharge is no longer an issue and if anything i am a stronger person for having gone through it and therefore believe i would be a better asset to the RAF now than i was when i was in before.

how long did you do in the trade and when did you leave and what rank where you, just intrested thats all. with regards to the trade sponsor, there where three men at the helm, have heard that they have disestablished two of the posts leaving one WO, who I beleive is ex tg3, I do know for a fact that they only have 12 people walk through the door of CIO that have signed up for the new tg4, so they are definetly looking to recruit in our trade as a matter of priority, hope this all helps.

when did you join aswell? what tco basic course where you?DT_Xtremez_28:

As far as I know a Flt Lt is taking over the job from the current sponsor.

Dis-established or disciplined (sacked?) For making a boo boo and ruining hundreds of careers spending so much money on egg sucking courses.
If the TG3 guy stays he needs to learn to speak up.Off Topic

Good luck with your application but don't expect an answer in a rush as things seem to get forgotten about.

We can but hope. Had a right battle this last few weeks, trying to stand up a CIS Tech post. "An IM can do that job" was all we got. Got a CIS Tech in the end but it shouldn't have been a fight.....

Having had Command COMSEC in over the past few days, they were saying that KW is talking of his remaining responsibilities getting sloped onto Command COMSEC.

There won't be a new trade sponsor his stuff will get farmed out around other people to deal with.

I think TG4 is only about 90% manned at the moment, I suppose thats one of the reasons TG4 PVR waiting times have just gone from 6 to 12 months!

Only CIS TECHS have 12 months due in part to no more promotion...

Sorry to jump in your forum but as they say...." we are all the same trade now!!"

Your not jumping in atall, as you said you are all the same trade now, just wouldnt mind it if they could see it in thier hearts to let me back into the brotherhood as it were.

 

[chumpzilla]

Only the same trade by name, techies are still techies and will no doubt get slated for it from the nut botherers! (apologies for bitterness) Also heard that our trade sponsor post was gapped so thats when the wizard *K*W turned 2 completely different trades into the steaming turd it is now!

Ciao

Trade sponsor

I can't believe one person is responsible for the TG4 problems that seem to be appearing all over the place. He cannot surely be that powerful. I have heard a few things here and there but do not feel informed enough to make comments about one individual. Anyway, he hasn't met me yet

Even if there is a 60% failure rate on the sprogs at Cosford on the basic TG4, and even if there are a lot of the TG11 oldies doing body-swerves to escape the 3-week assimilation course, that is not an individual's fault.

Clearly TG4 is difficult. The army were toying with it but it won't work. Their Comms / tech roles are too different to amalgamate, and anyway their career paths (Yeoman and Foreman) are much more identifiable and miles apart.

There is still a role for TG11, albeit away from the commcens etc, into IT, Comms etc. I know a lot of people are finding the amalgamation difficult but I dont know the answers.

You answered yourself in the next sentance, you aren't informed enough to comment.

I agree, he isn't responsible for the TG4 problems at the moment, but we were all warned back in 2003 when they did the road show going around stations letting us know what was in store, they predicted that it would calm down until 2008 when the dust had settled and the disgruntled peeps had left or lived with the change.
This has been around on this forum so many times, but we had to make the change or as a trade(11) we would have been replaced by civvies completely. TG3 didn't at the time have a very proactive trade sponsor, we did and we should be thankful for that.
I myself are very thankful for him getting rid of the majority of the commcen work as it was soul destroying, at least with some commcens that are left the people do help desk and other jobs and arn't sat next to the trends sending cc's all night.

 

[The Masked Geek]

So, if we're all techies now (and IT is a technical trade in the real world) who is gonna do the operating?

 

[IHateTCW]

DII fella signals will be a thing of the past or at least i think thats the way its going.
