Step promotions...

   So there has been a little chat about promotions around here. Unfortunately nothing is actually happening...at least as far as I know but talk is a good start.
     So since I am unable to study for the promotion test and am out of my career field I can't take the test for promotion. There has been talk about trying to get the AF to change some rules around and get things set up so I can be competitive. I think this is VERY important. I absolutely want to stay in but if I do I want to be able to compete with everyone else. I am already being passed in rank by guys that came in after me and it's drivin me bonkers.
    There has been some good talk about a step promotion to Staff Sergeant. This would be awesome...for now. Again, I want to be able to compete with the rest of the AF. I have had a few folks tell me I should push for a field comission but unfortunately the aAF is not like the other branches of service and they do not do such things. I think it's a great idea of course.
    There are a load of ways to fix the issues that are in front of me. This is my next challenge to overcome. We shall see what happens!!
