I did not realise that they had stopped the rank of JT ! I was a Cpl Tech when they did away with that rank & they reduced my Trade Pay down to JT level. I cicked up a stink about it & an outside organisation took my case up & won. I wasn't "flavour of the month" but at least my Cpl Tech Trade Pay was reinstated, while my Cpl chevrons were pointing downwards.
