Recently I read (cant find it now) that due to Covid and now lack of camps/Overnight activities, the requirements for Sgt to F/Sgt have changed?? Can anyone post me to said change (if it has of course).
Thanks
The matrix was fairly recently updated so worth checking on that.
I cant remember anything of that sort, but i havent had my morning coffee yet
The wording has changed in the promotion matrix.
It used to be have attended annual camps. now says:
Over the previous 4-year period, attend a minimum of: 1 x 5 nights continuous camp 3 x 2-night camps / courses
Not F/Sgt but FS
just saying

Depends who you ask? * Flight Sergeant (Flt Sgt, F/Sgt, or FS) / Flight Sergeant Aircrew (FSAcr)
No its not, There is an approved tri-service list of approved abbreviations for all ranks to avoid confusion. E G PO Petty Officer, Pilot Officer. Some fads just cling on for longer. HQAC using APO is just plain incorrect and makes us look silly

A good friend pointed out that abbreviations should actually have a dot at the end if they don’t end with the last letter of the word.
So “flt lt” but “fg off.” & “maj.”

Shall we maybe get back to the topic at hand?

Unless changed, abbreviated ranks (same as days / months if abbreviated) do NOT require a full stop. The whole point of an abbreviation is to make it shorter, not to attract extra punctuation.
So - fg off - maj - Mon - Jan - etc, etc.
especially I have the info I was looking for now
