I'm responsible for my squads activity and drama and trust me that is more than enough, I see what my Lt goes through being responsible for the whole Plt. and getting ready to go to his Bi-weekly Plt commanders meetings. It's alot of work That's my point. LT's aren't having you do "their" work, you have enough to do with communications, monthlies, quarterlys, annuals, self-inspections.
Don't get me wrong I like being a Sgt, but I'm not interested in going any higher.
But good luck to you if you are, happy studying. P.S $98k is base it doesnt include longevity, holiday pay, and night diff (if you work 1st or 3rd platoon) Sgts make a nice salary, not to mention Sgt Ot rate is 80 an hour at top pay. I'm good salary wise.

I dont hear any word on that. Seems highly unlikely. There was never a sgt class with promotions up front

I think you're wrong NoHook.... I know a SGT who in fact was promoted upfront. After the exam in 08, a class was put in Sept/08 around 75 and when they were promoted at the end of the month another 75 was promoted upfront with that class and entered BMOC as SGTs for October. I'm not saying they are going to promote 75 upfront, all i am saying it has been done.

P.S. Believe in Brat!!!!! If what she says its going to happen.....ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the scoop .............AGAIN  !!!!!!

They are doing 80 (entering BMOC on Oct 3rd) to be graduated on Oct 28th

They are promoting about 30-40 UPFRONT on the same day (Oct 28th) and they will go thru BMOC the following weeks.

The number they are shooting for is .......to fill the vacancies of Sgt.

They will let those last 30-40 know ahead of time if they are going to get promoted giving them ample time to get their uniforms in line and to file for the exam.  They will be given handwritten admission cards.

 Thank you for your always accurate information, definitely a big help.  Do you know how far in advance they will let those 30-40 people know?  I might be in that group or I might be bumped back to the last class (which I'm assuming graduates 12/23 if they go in right after these upfront people)

Guys, , dont get discouraged. Study if u have a chance of going in to nov. Class. Who knows??

So the scoop is we are still on for this small class... Great!

I officially hung up the patrol guide a few days ago. Ill wait for the next one

I'm hoping to be in this "Pre-Promotion Class". And I have to say this. If they were hoping to get more people to potentially pass the LT test, It was definitely the wrong way to go about it. By the time I found out I even had a chance of being made in time for the test. It was 17 weeks after the announcement. Hardly encouraging that countless Sgt.'s would have that type of jump on me, studying not to mention they have real world experience being a boss. I initially tried studying and debated on going through with my best effort, but the motivation quickly dissipated as my eligibility is not a definite and the prospect of spending money on cram classes being a waste seemed unwise. So my question is this, why not just post-pone the LT test. It wouldn't be the first time they've done that to get a max # of applicants? What's the big rush?

This is exactly what I was thinking.  They won't postpone it, though.  They don't care.

There is no time period that the job should promise to tell you in advance.  Some people had heard rumors that they would be able to take this exam, others not.  Either way, the job is allowing you to take it.  Some opportunity is still better than NO opportunity to take and pass this exam. 

Take the 5 weeks you have left (if you feel that you will have the opportunity) and study like a madman.

Let's be realistic, this test is not, get a 70 you're in. You need to score well to have a chance of getting a list # low enough to be able to get promoted. Power to those that are able to study that hard in just a few weeks. (With out being concrete if you'll even have that opportunity). I'm just not one of those people...

if u got a 75 why is ur list # high 600s?? it should be 500s

That's not necessarily true. You don't know how everyone is gonna do. It could be a small list with only several hundred passing and then e ermine would get made. It depends how many people pass. With only about 2,500 filed for Lt exam it could very well be a small list.

I agree. Anything below an 81/82 wouldnt get you anywhere. I studied for 2 months for Sgt Exam and got a 75. I have 1 month left and need an 85 lol.
Ill wait for 2014. By that time Ill have 14 years, a Lt. with 14 years, I'll take it.

That's not necessarily true, it depends how many people pass. If only several hundred pass everyone would get made even if you only scored a 70. With only 2,500 people filling you just don't know how big the list will be.

yes, around 2500 filed for lt exam

Just curious, Whats the unit that does the final round robin before you get promoted? Uniformed Promotions? OMAP?...

Chief of Personnel is the final say

We got what's already been posted here. 80 next month, then 40-50
pre-promoted.

So this list will be finished up in December??sounds good to me

Care to elaborate? As this goes against most of what people have been hearing...and what was said to guys going through BMOC in both the August and September classes...

Is it just your hunch? or do you have a good source?

Does anyone know up to what number they have cleared?

Great rookie sgts forever! Smh.

I need a hook....

I don't think the new pension protection bill is going to change things much. Let's be honest most people who are bosses in a kush gig would probably stay bill or not. It's not going to change for those bosses who hate where they are maybe cause of the area they work or the co-workers they work with. They're still going to say screw it, why stay I'm out. Pension bill or not I still plan to leave at 20, the job is not getting any easier, I can't even imagine what's to come in the future.

80 for october but nothing on the upfront class
