CW2 Promotion

I would even wear a dress uniform to have an audience when when you wind up to stretch out those little bird arms to to punch back.

Are you bringing the step ladder, or is that an individual responsibility?

[Brian101193]

Only if I get to hit you back.

You would hit a unicorn?

He's a 4, not a mystical 5.

Well, I hear getting hit in the solar plexus hurts, and that's probably as high as I could go without one.

[Brian101193]

My mistake, carry on.

[brackac]

It's CW2; you take off your wobbly one and put on your fridge master tower of power CW2 rank. Then you find someone of appropriate rank to administer the Oath.

[brackac]

He's a 4, not a mystical 5.

Mystical 5? I had 4 of them in a unit of 240. Not so mystical, just really old and grumpy.

[brackac]

Really old and really grumpy. Like a combination of Ebenezer Scrooge and Gandalf the Grey.

I prefer the image of Woldorf and Statler, the two old guys on the Muppets who always heckle from the balcony.

[Cantankerously]

Usurp your class leader, go direct to B Co to check on your status. The pinning ceremony isn't nearly as important as making sure you're getting paid for it.

 

Sorry I'll miss "wetting down" the new rank. I'm not sure I could hit a girl, even for a pinning, might be my first

Mike-

Exactly. I guess it's something S1 would take care of?

You know you're getting old when you have to explain who they are...(not meant as an insult...I knew without the explanation).

[Lindsey]

That's because you're both old.

Just for clarification, WOBC and BOLC are not the same thing, correct? Will both be completed during the duration of WOFT?

The way it is now is that WOBC is for Warrants and BOLC is for LTs. Up until a few months ago both LTs and WOs did BOLC; there was no WOBC. They decided to split it because a lot of the BOLC stuff didn't apply to WOs.

[Lindsey]

So, to clarify, my command doesn't need to be involved at all, right? They don't have anything to do with my "orders" promoting me to CW2?

Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks!

WOBC was flight school, in the past. Just think in terms of walking/tech warrants. They've always had a WOBC... it's the actual MOS producing school. If they're calling something else WOBC now, I'm a little surprised. (BOLC has several phases... I don't remember the details now... But the O's did BOLC II before they showed up, or something). BOLC III (Which in my day was split into A and B, 3 weeks each) was for everyone. They've gone back and forth on it a few times, though.

 

OBC and WOBC are/were essentially the same thing (flight school). BOLC doesn't/didn't have a specific counterpart on the warrant side, and I wouldn't be shocked to hear that non-aviator warrants have never done anything that they referred to as the same. In my experience, it was classroom related things; motor pool, supply classes, etc. The second phase was more of the same, and included the 9mm range, doctrinal classes, and a few AVCATT exercises.

You can check the HRC website for the promotion message for CW2. Print out a copy of the message and take it to B Co or S1. It will define the "as of date", April 1st, etc which should be when you get paid for the rank. When you on it on is just ceremonial.

I don't even think taking it to B Co is necessary. The promotion orders come from HRC, pay is managed by DFAS, both well above the B Co level. Unless the orders don't get published or DFAS somehow isn't updated there's no need to do anything locally.

They both have way too much personality for the average W5. Unless we are talking about Uncle Phil, then see it 100%. His jokes were corny.

Due to graduating flight school at almost 36 years of age, the only two people older than me on the 12/13 deployment were the TF Commander and our crusty ME. I was a W2.
