tommys - if you got promoted in march, then you're c2 in march. secondly, if you're promoted in march, you will get a CW rating in september. even if you were stellar during the preiod after promo, your september rating reflects full year performance at the current level and they only have 6 months of that against your peers' entire year contributions. Do you really think they'd ladder you "Above" M3s who have been waiting 3-5 years for SMgr?
