Hey, I'm a relatively new guy from CPC PMC. CPC PMC stands for
Control of Personnel Center, People Matters Center. Managing NSF
postings is done by a single branch only. The majority of the
people in the unit deal with the development of career for WOSpecs
actually.
Only a small team does vocation assignments. Staff officer is an
old man who has been there since CPC began. He is quite nice
really, but if he (or another satff member) accidentally assigned
you a wrong vocation, then too bad.
NSFs (and other adult staff members) are able to decide what
camp you go, if there are multiple units to choose from. Currently,
only 8 posts are given to NSFs that directly deal with posting of
people to camps. It is no easy feat. During the post-POP
period, some guys have to stay still 9pm or 11pm just to
finish their work, if they are dealing with combat
vocations. I like to think that I have more power than the
3SGs/2SGs/2LTs that I have met.
In deciding units, priority is given to units that have
shortfall (and esp those that make requests). Organizational
requirements come first. Whether the camp is near your house is a
smaller factor. However, for those technicians, you guys have no
choice but to be sent to Ayer Rajah.
If you hate your vocation, well, see if you are lucky to get
OOC, or get a nice recommendation from your specialist/MO.
Nice to hear from someone from the CPC, like to know what is the
percentage of BMTC get posted to RSAF or RSN?
