I've been a GEO 3 for some years, not sure when I can be promoted or what else I've to do...some batchmates from other schools were promoted to GEO 4 last year. I've been obtaining C+ in performance review since I began.
Joined service in 2015, graduated from
NIE (PGDE) in 2016, got batch promotion to GEO 3 in 2017... 4 years later, still GEO 3. My RO and SL gave vague responses when I asked them.
