I didn't say an 18% pay raise. I said promotion rate. This years promotion rate was 11% for my job, so out of a little over 400 of us were eligible, only 46 got promoted.

Sorry my reply was for Glassgal.![]()
I understood what you meant by promotion rate, but I thought it was in a corporate environment rather than a military one.
Sorry to hear you missed out. I hope you'll get another opportunity.

Oh. I'm sorry. Can you appeal?
what makes me mad is not being able to wirelessly summon a portable waffle when and where I want one.

I once lost 3 months of work due to a hard disk failure on an IBM XT - it just happened to be a finals dissertation, and all i have to say is staying up for 36 hours to replicate the work is interesting when you can see things climbing walls.
64k is enough as soon as you think in machine code, and until i can do that i'm quite happy to use HRH's and my combined 9Tb of disk space. Make an animation and see how far 64k gets you!

Borescoped,
I was stationed at Lakenheath 80-82. I liked it over there.
Most of the locals treated us very well. But the younger guys had a complaint about us Yanks.
They said we were ok with the exception being that we were oversexed, overpaid and over here.
E30, I'll get another shot, next year.
EDIT: that is, as long as sequestration doesn't cause our promotion rates to plummet again. Whit what I scored this year, I'd have easily been promo'd the last five cycles. This year was rough since the Air Force cut so many positions, they didn't want to fill as many.

I feel ya brother. I've been trying to pick up 5 since march of last year. Missed cutoff by 3 points last month. Points will post this month in the next day or so. Army promo system is so jacked up. I watch total turds advancing just because they are understrength jobs. Medic is so overstrength it's been near impossible to get promoted.
Add in the fact that I am now banned from the Army Physician Assistant program because the new AR670-1 bars enlisted with too many tattoos from commissioning. I'm going to be dropping my flight paramedic packet after this deployment. That is the only thing that will keep me in uniform at this point. If I dont get accepted, dirty monkey vapeworks will become my full time job when this contract ends.
