I got promoted today at work. I am now a Tech Sgt (E6). I never thought I would get this high cause I expected to get out after my first 6 years so it was quite a moment.

Congrats!

So, I know Air Force promotions fall on the 1st of the month unless you get step promoted so I was wondering if you are Guard or reserve? What branch?

Congratulations! I joined the New Zealand Army intending to only stay 3-4 years, and ended up staying 15! I got to the Sgt level too, though our rank system works differently to yours.

Yep, Air Guard (full-time though), we do promotions on drill weekend with it going into effect the Wednesday following.

Yep, I am active duty Air Guard, Security Forces. We don't test, its a good ol' boy system. You do everything you need to do for making rank (CDCs, schools, time, etc), then wait to get promoted. After SSgt, you wait for a spot to open up and then the MSgts and above vote on who should take that spot.

I always wondered how the guard worked exactly. I thought about going guard when I get out. I'm a 1N2, Intel, super boring. LOL!

You really should! We have tons and tons of people who come to us after active duty and a lot of them end up working full-time for us, too. Course some just do the weekend thing, too. I think its a great middle ground.

I've always been told that no one goes into the military thinking they'll stay, it just happens. Congrats on the promotion!

I was TDY there in March 2001. We did stay on Ft Rich though. What a beautiful place. I recommend a visit, too.
