Army Vern, CDN Aviator is Right, I remustered and finished my 5's last year and I'm just a 111 Cpl now I should have added that in to my original comment. For us the working rank is Sgt, which makes it almost a given and at the most it should take 6 years. I'm looking at finishing my 20 as WO and finding an nice civi job in Ottawa writing
I already agreed that he was right, given your particular circumstances. I asked, in my post "what am I missing?" He filled it in.
But, my point is STILL that your post reads as if it is possible (indeed normal) in a trade to obtain the rank of "Sgt" as a gimme with a mere 6 years of total TI. That is not the case. You made no mention of the fact that you were a remuster to Int OP, and thus, were referring to "6 years time AFTER remustering" (vice "in 6 years" as it reads to the non-informed of your service history).
YOU may be aware of the fact that you are a remuster, and it may be clear in your own mind what your post meant, but as demonstrated by MY confusion ---- it is NOT obvious that that is what you meant to pers who are not aware of your specific service and the fact that you are a remuster. Mods etc may pick up on what you actually meant because we tend to visit EVERY thread in the course of performing admin on the site and thus are aware that you are a remuster (except for me of course --- but I've been a little busy lately with life things). This is not the case with the vast majority of site members however who only visit threads that are in their lanes or otherwise provoke their interest.
You must remember that not all members have vast experience, in fact some are only in the enrollment process; and, most will not read your particluar posting history, nor even the threads you have previously posted in ... thus they obtain the impression that there is a RegF trade in the CF that regularly obtains their Sgts after a mere 6 years of service.
That is now clarified. If you have any doubt, go back and read your post again. Pretend it's written by someone else besides yourself and that you are wanting to join the CF ... how does it now read to you?? I've got 20 years in ... and it read the same way to me (until I went through and reviewed your posting history and gleaned from that that you were a remuster), but not everyone is going to go through your history to get that info.
