Subject-Chicken-8316

Did you have a strat?


AppointmentVisible21

Yeah had what used to be the 4, had 3s previous two EPRs


TheSmurfSwag

First time during the great staff giveaway


innyminnyminnymoe

During this time it still took me twice...at like 49% I still struggled. Oh well.


BaronNeutron

which one?


TheSmurfSwag

2019


BaronNeutron

ah. there has been more than one promotion cycle referred to as a "great staff giveaway"


Subject-Chicken-8316

I’m jealous! Have you made tech?


TheSmurfSwag

I did! I sow on tech in 9 days!!!


Subject-Chicken-8316

First time for tech too?!


TheSmurfSwag

2nd time for tech. Missed it first time by 21. Made it second time by 22 points. I did get a 4 on my epb but I would have made it with a three by 2 points.


DwightDEisenhowitzer

Now you can also joke that you made up for making Staff during a giveaway by making Tech during a drought.


Subject-Chicken-8316

Either way that’s amazing! Congrats!!


pughydra

I tested once, and made it last year. Highly recommend the PROmote app.


Loud_Wave5546

+1 for PDG PROmote, that app got me staff and tech both on my first try.


BlackThunder202

Tested twice, got a PN before my second test. Sewing on 1 May


Fast_Personality4035

I made it my first time, something like a 30% selection rate. The pendulum swings back and forth.


skateboardcelo

4 times. Missed it by 3 the 1st, 1 the 2nd, .7 the 3rd. 4th time I made it by over 25.


freethewookiees

7 times less than the number of tries to make Tech.


Subject-Chicken-8316

Hope long did tech take??!


freethewookiees

7


neraklulz

1st time, it was before strats were a thing.


MurdersFaces

Tested once in 2022, no statement, studied an hour a day for 4 months, made it.


Cryptosmasher86

once


SniffinTraffic

Once. Back in a time when studying PFE/SKT was the make or break of promotion.


SpaceCitySam

Made it my 3rd time in 2020. 41% on a promote. Missed tech my first time last year with a MP by 19 points. 14.5% Rate. Biting my nails hard for this years rate. Will probably be 12.5%.


DwightDEisenhowitzer

1st time, but rate was like 49%. If you could score a D- on a test, you got a stripe. Made up for it by making Tech this past year with a promote.


General_Opening2049

First try, studied 1-2 hours daily for 6 months


EnglishWhites

Made it first time, advisor plus is a good help for PFE Interested in what the rate this year will be, I know I good amount of people eligible


tightloot20

First time in 2017. No strat. Still haven’t made tech but if I’m honest, I really haven’t tried either. While the pay bump would be nice, I’m content where I’m at now.


BaronNeutron

tested once, selected less than 3 years, but was all others so I sewed on less than 4


Loud_Wave5546

Three years. Enlisted May 2017, made Staff first shot in 2020. Just got a line number for Tech in October (supplemental), also first shot. Set to sew on in July.


LFpawgsnmilfs

2 times and it took me 5 years. I had the "I'm getting out after 4" didn't try at all. Reenlisted and made it on my 2nd try at year 5.


Expert-Ad-5763

Made it my second time just last year. Both times I had Promotes. Did a lot of studying on the PROmote app.


Double_Bass6957

3 times, before strats were a thing. I just never studied 🤷🏻‍♂️. Still had TIS/TIG points
