The Shop Chief can only recommend. No opening for grades below
Sergeant (3 stripes) are required. How do I know? Well I was a Shop
Chief for a number of years :-)

John, you weren't IN the Air Force when an E4 was called a "sargeant"

During your time it was Airman Basic, Airman 3rd Class, Airman 2nd
Class and Airman 1st class. (E1, E2, E3 and E4)

Nope, it was Airman Basic, E1, E2, E3, Staff Sergeant, Tech Sergeant
and Master Sergeant and about half way through my service they add two
more levels of Sergeants.

You never for one time were a shop chief for ANY technical grade

rso you don't know shit about advancement requirements. E2 to E3
didn't REQUIRE any ability tests and the ONE promotion our shop got
four E4 didn't get a skill test. Of all of the E3's the shop chief
CHOSE him. After my time in the Air Force, they might have changed it
but you sure as hell wouldn't know anything about it since being a
"shop chief" of crew chiefs didn't NEED any skills beyond being able
to read and write.

Tommy, I keep telling you. I was a Crew Chief and I and my crew were
responsible for all Airframe and Engine maintence on the airplane.

I'm sure that you could get Flunky who knows zip about it to agree with you because he did 2, 200 mile in-one-day rides despite having a less than 1,500 mile year. And he did that at an average speed that showed that he drove it in a car. You two deserve each other. He also told us that he was a racer and he is over 65 years old. And despite actual pro racers saying that they ALWAYS glanced down to shift friction shifters to see where the levers were - Flunky tells us that he never had to. Why he was 100 times brighter than the best pro out there, just ask him.
