I'm asking for a friend- anyone here need to go before CARB before getting promoted to Sgt? Did the powers that be wait until your list # came up before you were notified for and attended CARB or did you go before your # was reached? I'm wondering if my friend will definitely be passed over or is there a possibility that he may go to CARB in time and get cleared to get made when his # is up. Any insight?
I was called down and interviewed prior to my list number being called. If am correct you'll only get passed over if there's some type of case against you that needs to be cleared up first. So if your friend needs to go to the CARB board it will be done prior to his list number being called
Not necessarily true; you can be held up if you're on monitoring as well, especially if you've caught a CD or two recently. They'll recommend that you wait around and "mature" before letting you get promoted.
