Yes, once you get back here to Pet (I am here now) - go ahead and verify what the scale reads now. But, no - it isn't "an easy fix" - YOU can't change the scale - even being a navy sup tech who can access them via WQT & homepage - rather, you can just look them up. Hell, even an SM(f) can't change the scale. I can assure you that I am very well familiar with their workings ... We'll perhaps meet one day soon ... this is my posting choice number one & 9erD is here. You can show me how to read scales. And you can tell me how Comm Rsch is a purple trade ... and you can tell me how THAT relates to how a scale reads today as opposed to 10 years ago? It doesn't. Two years ago, 043s weren't entitled to safety boots either, but they are now. Scales change. Your example has SFA (yes, you got that right) to do with now.
Oh, and when you teach me how to use the scales, make sure you teach me how to read the *notes that accompany them ... :
But really, there's no need for you to look anything up actually -- another Naval pers on this thread has already brough the conflict between the scale and the message to their CoC for invest. And I've already made sure it was brought up on the Supply side. Because, the Sup tech who works in clothing stores looked up the scale for me the first week of December (I have pretty-much non-existant DIN access as a student on a French course; I certainly don't have a computer) and they still read then "upon first posting into a naval establishment posn"; It'll have been a month and, as already noted in this thread, that conflict was then brought up through the supply and naval side of the house, so perhaps it'll be fixed by the time you're back to work.
My OS' came in to me ... with cadpat. They were also in cadpat and/or word dress last fall/winter (2008) when I was tasked to CFSAL as staff ... One of them went to work in clothing, another into the MSA (which also fell under me in the CoC) ... neither were, at that point in time last fall, entitled to NCDs.
I guess I'm wrong. You must be right. In 91/92
I was entitled to the old NCDs ... I was NOT entitled to the new NCDs a couple years ago even had I been working in the exact same posn (in CSG in the Halifax dockyard) that I had been in in '91. Because until a couple years ago, the new NCDS were for "shipboard" use only and that is when entitlment kicked in. Guess what the other sailors wore? Their work dress. With the new NCDs entitlement was at first for "hard sea" posns first, then "navy establishment posns" ... and it keeps evolving & evolving ...
