Found out during my last ICT that I will be promoted to 3SG from Cpl. I've asked my Plt Sgt and he wasn't sure either as he had ORD'd as a 2SG and had completed SISPEC during his active days. I am a Comms Storeman, so I'm not sure what (if any) course I will have to go through, or if I will have to take more time off from work as a result of this promotion. Has anybody undergone a reservist promotion to specialist before?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

If i am not wrong, courses are only required if your 'job' has been changed together with your rank. Eg someone who is promoted to PS will get a rank promotion and might be required to attend the PS course. If not that i don't think there is any course required.
Anyway storemen 3SGs are all passout from supply supp course from STC and does not go through SISPEC which is only for combat specs only.
Thanks. Good to know I won't need to go off from work again. I remembered my upper study had to go for the comms tech supervisor course just before his ORD but I heard that vocation has since become obsolete. Just in case you were wondering, my Plt Sgt is a signaller, not a storeman.
Hmmm.....
I remember b4 one of my high key reservist period end, the OC suggested promoting us for our performance...the promotion was from 3SG to 2SG
at that time, we were all surprised and merely told him we will think about it
just promote only.... nothing de... get more money nia... no course one la...
Even go course also ok lah.....reservist course maximum is 3 wks and it's considered as 1 high key.
best is to be the lowest rank for resevist
........
no responsbilities
i think when come to reservist ICT
no one bother about rank
we treat each other like friends
thats why we always got recon A
all work hand in hand..

Agree with this... any promotions during reservist is usually unwanted. The rapport and team work in my platoon now is pretty good (after my 4th high-key) and I don't really want it to change. Guess they only promoted some of the men because the older appointment holders are going to MR...
Will be sorely missing some of the older guys when they clear their last high key next in camp... they really turned some of the sai kang into memorable experiences with their antics...
