Do the YN or SK ratings really need to be as large as they are anymore? Since most of the admin and supply stuff has become automated, couldn't we downsize those ratings and add to the operational manpower?

Can't speak for YN, but every time the SK rating was inflicted with another "advance" it actually increased the workload and labor. For example, think of how simple purchase orders were before they were "simplified". It went from one sheet, mostly empty space, to ten pages. And look at CM+, how many hours did that add.

Not that I'm complaining about acquisitions being complicated, if they were actually simple the taxpayer wouldn't need to pay me so much.

Any one noticed he hasn't made another post? Sounds like a troll.

He must be a troll, disgruntle, or embarrassed to repost. I greatly appreciate all the help and support the YN's and SK's at our Sector help us out with.

If, however, your post was serious, then you seriously need to turn in your anchor. The first hint that you do not have a clue as to what the SK's and YN's do is when you state
quote:
I have to complete all MY scheduled travel, TDY orders, travel claims, DLA, proceed, BAH, COLA, part tracking, document # .GBL , brown sheet, …
The brown sheet part.....well that always cracks me up when people whine about having to complete a brown sheet! Let me let you in on a little known secret; of the many obvious superpowers SK's have, reading minds isn't one of them. If something takes a long time to get procured, 8 out of ten times it's because you did something really stupid on the requisition and the SK went above and beyond to correct it so you would get the part you actually needed and not what you ASKED for. As for doing your own travel orders, claims, peoplesoft etc..... Why should someone else do your travel claim for you? Do you really do your own travel orders or do you just submit a travel REQUEST so the YN's will know what the hell you want? What the hell do you do for you BAH other than verify it every year? Guess what? All of that IS your responsibility. Grow up. If you are an E7, maybe you should ask the members of the chiefs mess how to act like a chief.

Lastly,if you are going to type a flaming post, at least have the testicular fortitude to put your name behind that post instead of running off like a scared little schoolgirl and hide behind the wall of anonymity! Otherwise, your post is the irrelavant ramblings of a no-name troll. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go lose a few PR's......

He changed it to anonymous. It wasn't anonymous when he posted his complaint.

Heard that... Remember it's always the SK's fault! And nothing you do gets noticed until someone else makes a mistake to make you look bad.

It makes me sad when the FT's have to take a break from their video game playing to actually do some work. Enjoy your $60k bonus.

Amen! I wish that we got a bonus for all of the work that we "supposedly" do not do.

If anyone thinks they have it bad, try being the ONLY contracting officer for 16 units (or the only COCO for the entire district). I have a very busy job, not including TAD trips to schools, those 16 units and countless other BS trips that I could have spent my time more appropriately ordering items for the members at my unit. I also have several collateral duties at my unit. Being able to take leave every now and then without coming back and the s*** having hit the fan while I was gone would be great too! We all have issues, you just have to learn how to deal with it without bad mouthing other rates of TEAM COAST GUARD.

How come I can order, ship and track my parts as an FT better than the SK’s??... Maybe because I show up for work at least once a week.


It's easy to order, ship and track parts when you pay no attention to procurement rules or laws. Take one guess who fixes/ratifies all the mistakes that you make...yep, the SK's in supply and finance but you don't hear us complaining in a public forum (or is that what I just did Wink

MAD E7

You need to attend the CPO academy and get some leadership skills. At a minimum you should go back for a LAMS refresher.
