Civil Svc/ Statboard - Typical Timeline for making a Hiring Decision

He is sure to stay, that's the unsaid perks for LTC and above. Those high up there knew that those people could not find a job outside hence a "civilian" job is prearranged for them once their tour ended. They will just try to put them in any agency that has a slot and this ex military guy seldom go elsewhere because with no relevant experience, where can they go? Unless got connections.

My previous stats board all my DDs are ex military guy. All zero relevant experience and come be our boss and we have to teach him like a baby. Funny isnt it? I will say that you observe yourself on how popular he is within his bosses. If his bosses all ex military people, i will say u have hope, but if his bosses dont come from the same path as him, then better go. Unlikely the division will be liken. I left because all my ex military DDs are not liken by their own bosses (not same ex military) so the division seldom have people promote, we do so much ended up in drain. And if your division every two years change a new boss, pls go too. Because new comer boss will have less fighting power at annual appraisal so the division will also kenna dragged. I experienced all these myself already.

Omg that's my DD also lor. Kick another level up and i start seeing ranks like BG liao. Legit all either ex SAF/navy/air force etc. Thanks for your reply.

My ministry is filled of likes of BG, COL, etc etc. Got air force, navy, etc.

Btw does that mean I'll never be DD. 😢

What's the best way to make them happy ah? These ex military guys. I got a colleague who always address the boss by "sir" and say things like "Roger" and "over".

Yes, if DDs slot are reserved, then sorry non scholar will less likely get it. Promotion works only if your top move and you can move. If your top all hentaki, you think you can move upwards? Where got slot. All appointment have a number of headcounts.

Change every two years. To be eligible for promotion you need to get above avg grade for consecutive 2 years or avg grade for consecutive 3 or 4 years. Imagine your first year you get B, then you work as hard and 2nd year change a new boss and appraisal came C.. the chain is broken. You ended up not eligible and wait for 3rd years to get another avg grade to see if eligible. By then, you have alot of competitors liao and if there are other bettee candidates or those waited damn long, you sure have to continue wait.
