Hello all,
So as many of us know, 25B is overstrength. And when I say overstrength, I mean 300+ promotables waiting for points to drop. I am a CPL, with 5 1/2 years TIS. Points are almost always maxed and I am running out of progression room. I have gotten three certifications (CCNA, Net+ and Sec+.) and over 50 semester hours towards my Bachelors. I have held SSG positions in two units due to my zeal and capacity. However, I cannot get close to promotion. And it's BS. I will be due up for re-assignment soon and my branch manager is an asshole ( personal vendetta against him literally.) I will most likely get moved to another operator slot on a piece of equipment, further wasting my progression time. I need help. WHCA is out of reach due to my credit(Thanks Mom). The only option I have is 25D it seems like but looking at the requirements, not very plausible. Someone help! I am wasting away. Thanks

25B is essentially a dead end MOS. You will fight a claw your way over a decade and a half to make SSG just to realize that you most likely will not make E7 because every other 25B who clawed their way does not want to get out, will never make E8 and holds all the E7 slots. You will have to reclass or get out of the Army if you want to advance. I fell into the same black hole as you and had to reclass to 25D in order to make it anywhere.

CPL (Join to see) , The AF promotion system is getting ready for a HUGE change over the next three years with a heavier slant on recent performance and removal of TIS/TIG as factors for promotion points.
Your current MOS is basically the same as my AFSC and we are well undermanned AF wide.
Outside of the AF, don't forget the full time Reserve and Guard gigs as well as the special duties like WHCA but different. JCSE is great one!

JCSE! High speed equipment, plenty of soldiering and interesting deployments. Not just the sand box.

I kid, I kid! SSG(P) (Join to see) is correct about interesting deployments. This was me over the summer.
