Do we want people promoting based on awards and strats or do we want them promoting based on job performance? Not saying your job performance sucks, I'm sure it doesn't, but I thought we we've had our pitchforks out for years because the Christmas party planner/Wing FGO OTY/Strat queen was getting promoted over dudes that might have a better overall record. I guess I was under the impression that job performance and strats were related. Silly me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennynova Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Pawnman, I think you were done a disservice by being given #1/30 shop chiefs, etc.... when you could have just as easily gotten #4/25 Capts or Majors... leadership probably didn’t know what they were doing.... and that sucks that it affected you when your Strats have all shown you were good at your job title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My WG/CC agreed too. But it is what it is, and I can't go back in time and get those strats now. I can't really tell if it was a lack of knowledge, or if it was a result of the standard "the Air Force sucks at feedback". Who knows, maybe I got a #2/23 shop chiefs because the WG/CC didn't want to write #37/60 captains. Maybe all the supervisors and commanders who told me I was doing a great job just didn't want to deliver bad news face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New strat rules will eliminate the “shop chief” style strats. I would definitely request feedback from your WG/CC to see if he’s willing to push for a DP for you APZ. Or find out what he wants you to do to be a DP next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panchbarnes Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm pretty sure AFPC put out a stratification guide a few years ago and showed what can or can't be used for PRF. It's a foul if leadership pleads ignorance. If your Wg/CC agreed the strat wasn't the best, then why didn't he/she kickback the PRF/OPR? This is not leadership, this is Dunder Mifflin management.

Because I didn't have a different strat to put there. I'll post it when I'm back from leave, but I had the standard C format with strats straight down the left side. I didn't have enough captain/CGO strats to put one on every line. Now, if there was guidance about which ones could and couldn't be used, I never got it, and the WG/CC never said anything about it. If that turns out to be the case, I'll be even more pissed, because I had other bullets that could have gone there even if they weren't strats.

Bro, I assure you the guidance came out a few years ago. So people know what is a bullshit strat and what isn't.

bennynova Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Pawnman’s Current wg/CC didn’t GIVE him the shop chief Strats. I’m sure they both built the best PRF with the record they were given. Sounds like the wg/CC was honest about the uselessness of the shop chief type Strats.... but again, I don’t think the wg/CC gave them to pawnman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, according to that guidance the “1/xx shop chief” strat is valid, while the primary strat AFSOC uses appears invalid. We use a YG (year group) strat method and think it’s the bees knees, but other MAJCOMs apparently have no idea what it is. The whole system is so dumb. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I had two commanders who truly didn’t know that “1/xx officers” was a shit strat. I had one who didn’t know that “2/xx FGOs” as a new O-4 did not go with “MAJCOM next” on the push line. The system is completely and utterly ed.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Does anyone know how to access "As Met" records on Talent Marketplace? I tried PRDA, but there were no longer folder icons from which to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennynova Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Prda worked 5 days ago for me.... i’ve never heard of records being on talent marketplace. What we we need are more web based services where everything is scattered about the interwebs... maybe talent marketplace will be the one stop shop eventually? We can only hope.

billy pilgrim Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) As an 11F separating from AD all of this doesn't suprise me - but it's still hard to watch from the sidelines. 75% promotion rate for MSG dudes? Create some room at the B Course because we could really use these hard charging leaders in a MWS in CENTCOM. For me, ever since TAMI-21 I stopped listening to anything Big Air Force SAYS and started only paying attention to what Big Air Force DOES. For all those looking at a bonus or extending their ADSC past their UPT commitment I would fence in appropriately and do so only with very high SA. Get your ATP and be ready with options as you get close to your commitment. Best of luck to everyone!

They probably have the same name as the one poor IPZ person with a DP who didn't get promoted. Luck is a skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
