Subject: I dun got promoted this morning
Was almost maxed out on points to get Sergeant but I'm not eligible until next month....but I did get promoted to Corporal and was asked to submit a resume & bio to apply for a job with a special unit in Texas for when I get back from deployment. Crossing fingers so I can move to Austin.

I understand that position comes with a lot of responsibility.

i don't understand...are you in a branch of the military or a cop? half of what you said doesn't make sense in terms of the military so i have to assume cop

aside from the "points" issue that i'm having a hard time reconciling.....if you just got promoted to cpl how will you be eligible for sgt next month? i assumed all branches(like the marines) had a time in grade requirement before being eligible for promotion

Because Specialist to Corporal is a lateral promotion. Same pay grade, thus, time in grade doesn't reset. I'm not eligible for Sergeant because I don't have 3 years time in service until next month.

lateral promotion = oxymoron

I think you should be assigned Permanent Latrine Orderly

Haha when my husband was in the Army, they went to Kuwait at one point and were in the middle of nowhere. Tents only, no AC, no facilities, no nothing. He pranked the officers/senior enlisted really good one day, but it was a silly prank, nothing to even really write him up for, definitely not article-15 worthy. But they also just couldn't let it go.

Well the "waste management" was taking all of the...erm...waste...and burning it with diesel in these huge metal drums. The grunts did the actual burning but an NCO had to supervise. So they promoted him to corporal, which kept him at the same pay grade, etc. etc. but "technically" made him an NCO, and put him on isht-burning-supervision duty for the rest of the deployment.

All I'm sayin is...it ain't necessarily a promotion. tongue

Dunno lol, never saw it. The thing was they were required to rotate the grunts on isht duty, so they couldn't just make him actually burn stuff the whole time. But they could make him the NCO "in charge" of the whole thing, for the whole time.
