I cam off the bored last year whilst on tour and I have still been told im not able to wear it yet as there is no PID for me here. I took it up to the Battalion RCMO and he said I need to do a PNCO which I done about 5 years ago. I know this may have ran out but I still thought you had a year to complete a PNCO from the date you pick up. This didn't bother me at first but im missing out on a lot of money as I would have gone up another increment last month and I would have gone up another at the end of my course. I have hit a wall at the moment as I have been a maxed out CFN for 2 years already. Does anyone have any advice about this?.

Im well behind my peers even though Im medically fit, pass pfts and CFTs, no history of ill disciplin, never had a single AGAI, never had even a show parade since I left training. Ive had 5 reccomends on the bounce on my last 5 SJARs and most of my peers have come off on their 2nd or 3rd look.

Been in with the boss today and he has informed me that he did his best to get in the top third but unnamed individuals at the Regiment grading and shading board shouted him down. He says he was trying to get a top third with a strong reccomend, but was lucky to get away with a middle third and a standard reccomend.

This is the third time in a row Ive been at the top of the Squadron, then Ive downgraded to middle third when it gets to the Regimental board. Add to this I have been refused an RCMO interview for 2 years running. What this boils down to is that somebody above me has thrown enough dirt and its stuck because Im 4 years behind my peers and people are apparrently thinking "well it must be true because he still hasnt promoted" - and this is actually what the boss said to me on the QT.

I cant go the redress route because I will just make enemies and probably end my career because I cant put any concrete evidence down. The boss wouldnt tell me who was slinging the dirt or what it was so I can defend myself against it.

Is it normal for those who are not in your CoC to slate you at a grading and shading when your OC is trying to fight your corner?

Any ideas on how to go about finding out what Im being slated for because it certainly isnt on my MPAR and nobody in my CoC is raising any concerns with my performance?

Any other genuine advice will also be welcomed.

I was recently refused a specialisation nursing course and one of the reasons was lack of residual service.


When I applied I had 5 years remaining and I was under the impression that I would only need a minimum of three years payback.


I have been looking for the relevant JSP that I would be able to quote as I am thinking of filing a Service complaint.


Has anyone been in a similar situation or know of the relevant JSP?


Many thanks ]]> matt7768 http://www.arrse.co.uk/reports-promotion/195772-service-complaint-specialisation-course-refusal.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/reports-promotion/195747-career-foul.html Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:46:53 GMT Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue.

I came off my my promotion board some 6months ago and have completed my career course which substantiates my rank. However my unit are holding back on letting me wear, due to lack of PIDS and postings.

Is this career legal? ]]> Lazarus135 http://www.arrse.co.uk/reports-promotion/195747-career-foul.html
