An October class would be awsome.  Those who make it would graduate on the 27, and take the LT test on the 29!!!

ok so now we re hearing buzzing about an aug class... whats the buzz for sept?

honestly dont care if i make the lt test or not.... one step at a time.

The way I see it, you can either beat them, or join them.

Totally agree with you... Im bout 100 names away, but even if i was a boss for 2 months already, i dont understand how people can say "ok, i just got a gold shield for two months, i know everything as a sgt and now im going take the test to be a Lt."... I think , in my opinion, to get to another rank or position, you need to have good experience in each area, so you can be a good anx effective leader, there are exceptions to this, but i dont get how people are studying to be a Lt and dont even know how tyeir next command is yet...

 i have 15 years on and ill give you a bit of advice..this is only a job, its about money, pension, and most importantly mental well being.  if you have an opportunity to make more money, bigger pension, less hours, and answer to less douches do it!  with that said...take the exam if you can.  get off this job when your time comes and if 3/4 is an option at any rank, take it and run.

Interesting how people with veteran status on this board are saying you should have experience before taking the LT. exam in Oct;

Firstly by even if you get made as a Sgt in Sept. and take and pass the Lt's exam in Oct. , you will still have to wait to get promoted and still need to have the time as a Sgt before getting promoted to LT, no? How much experience as a Sgt do you need?

I have over 15 years on now and up until a few years ago didnt want to be a Sgt as badly as I do now and am already looking to the Lt's exam , why? Well I can say without a doubt that yes you cannot beat the injustices perpetrated against you by a boss just as well as you cannot replace the importance of being a seasoned cop with the balls to do what needs to be done when it has to be done. Time on the job does not mean you have what it takes to make the right calls and decisions when they count the most but why would you want some 5 year wonder or some burnt out seasoned Lieutenant telling you what to do ?

I have had nothing but strife as a cop in my command by bosses both seasoned and not; I have been transferred ,set up and even slammed with an unjustified Command B . I even had a boss attempt to assault me and had it not been for the ICO he would have done so. You want to hazard a guess as to what happened to that Sgt? Yes absolutely nothing.

My personality ? I am a hard worker and have not only excelled at what I do but have even implemented new programs at my command and received community awards throughout my career. I respect you if you respect me .
I am generally liked by my co workers but it's those certain bosses that have made my life difficult.

"If you cant beat them join them" , no. If you cant beat them keep gettin promoted so you can keep making a bigger difference! I am part of a specialized unit now where I am the oldest and have the most seniority and love those guys man. They have shown me they are willing to get my back on quite a few occassions and I trust them and their decisions with my life. On the other hand many cops with serious time on have nothing good to say about the job yet dont get off their asses and try and make a change.

The job is young and getting younger and that applies to all ranks and if you feel you need more time to be a better cop or Sgt before you can be an effective boss then you should have your head examined.

One last thing: Dont worry you'll have plenty of Cd's as a Sgt when you get promoted and if you think you've reached the promise land when you become a SGT listen to this one.........
There is a cop currently on our list in the mid 40's who has been passed over . He was a Sgt who got demoted. His crime? He banged a girl the CO was fond of. Yes the Co and the rest of the administration went after him until he had so much stuff in his file it was ridiculous. Even after his demotion the CO went after him some more and ........boom! got him again. I would love to know what this guy has to say about his desire to get made.

My philosophy? If you can get there , get there ; Take the Lt's exam!

Hating you, you sound like a good person to me, anyone who wants to improve this job in some way, should definatley get some reward... In my time on this job, over half way to retirement, i can honestly say ive had less than half of my bosses, that were actually nice to have as a supervisor, either they were totally fake, or the biggest scammers, and believed cause they had a shield they were indestructible.... Dont get me started on females and relationships... I made the mistake of that too, i think the biggest piece of "sheet" is a cop, boss, etc who hooks up w another workers " intrest" cause whats that original cop gonna do? Punch and beat the **** out of him?? No, cause if he doesnt have a hook, etc he or she will have along carreer, just like the person someone spoke of above, i mean if im out and someone flirts w my girl etc, and we arent both Mos, then you bet your tail he will have to deal w me..... Anyway getting bk to the point, i appologise if it a nerve, i did say theyre are exceptions , i forgot you needed 2yrs in rank to get promoted. But i know of someone, like im sure we all do, a person who will be in the top of the Lt list, that maybe should wait a few years...oh well not my concern.... I just hate the cops, who just care bout their signing out and not giving a **** bout the next cop which could save alot of bullshoot for the next cop.... For some reason, i was thinking a cop who becomes sgt now, takes the Lt test, scores high, could be made by May 2012 is just mind blowing..do what you gotta do, and stay safe!

all of the previous posts is waaaayyyyy too much for me to read ............ lazy !

brat4914 10-4 that!!! keep it short and sweet guys, I dont want to waste half an hour scanning this forum to get the updates I need.

I don't think too good to be true. Nothing has gone as planned this year.

There's usually not that many. Almost 25 percent. That's weird. There were some back to back names also

If the September class gods are listening, get er done!

In bmoc now the Lt said they expect to have a class every month till the test. No mention of the size. He also mentioned they expect more capt and Lt promotions as well.

if people are promoted just before the lt exam, they WILL be allowed to late file

forget "HISTORY"...........nothing has been according to the way things used to be..........seems as though we are all playing by a new set of rules...........let history go !!

That would be awsome! I might have a chance if thats the case...Im in the mid 600's.

Which rumors Satcom?

So we can expect a Sept class you think?

Mother F@&k"r !!!! I'm going to miss this Lt exam by just a few names...

Thanks for the info/prediction......hope it pans out for us

I feel like I sat in a different classroom than did the new Bmoc class as not the Lieu incharge nor any instruc nor anyone mentioned any news or predictions about a Sept class sorry. What do you expect for the first day.

hello all....i'm in bmoc also and the LT did say that the dept is preparing for a sept n oct class as of right now but its not definite... when/if more info is given i will pass it on.... 

It was mentioned in the beginning of class

Unconfirmed by the female instructor in Computer Class...40 for next BMOC...
