I got promoted!

Whee! No longer am I trudging the dour depths of being one of the worker drones! Now... now, I hold a position that is more of the equivelent of... dun dun dun!

...lower management.

Crap. I think I just went from the bottom of the shit pile to the middle.

Still... better paycheck!

Congrats! I take it you're officially an NCO now? That's awesome. More money's always good, too.

Nah, I've been an NCO for the past four years. The bottom level of NCO... but still.

I just hit E5. Finally. After being up for it 8 times. And I blew the test out of the water! I scored a 60 out of 80 on the test when the average of people who advanced scored 55, and I had a final multiple of 155, when the minimum required multiple to promote was 143.

I'm in the 84th percentile for advancement, which means I did better than 84 percent of my peers in rate.

Basically, as an E4 I was only a tiny step higher on the ladder than the airmen who end up doing most of the work. As an E4, I was working alongside them, not quite having to do all the shitty jobs, but still considered 'just a worker'. Now, as an E5, I am considered a shop supervisor and my responsabilies have moved more in the direction of assigning tasks, assisting with tasks, and helping to run the workcenter. For example, just yesterday, which was my first day actually working with my new rank on my arm, I was taking meetings, authorizing tool checkout, signing for inspections that others had done, etc.

But then again, I'm one of the boot E5's in the shop now, so I'm about to inherit all the lower-management shit jobs too. But its better to be junior and working your ass off than to be senior and stuck in a position with no growth.

What's it like knowing your feminine incompetence has held you back while men speed past you in rank?
