Lew Bookman · Senior Member

do you know the breakdown from 2012 list and 2013 list? (how many from each?)

stiggityone · Guru

5 from 2012...4 passed it up
5 from 2013...2 skipped because they lack enough time in rank

CONGRATULATIONS to the first 4/5 of our list who broke their asses and passed the most difficult exam to date, being in the first group is an awesome achievement... And to the 1/5 of this first group- Like Phil and Gerard before you; buffoons, tokens, and cheaters, you will now be in elite company.

So they are going to have a class of like 5 new captains? That's all that's left on the old list. They've never had less than a class of 10. Makes no sense, especially with all the vacancies. There are plenty more than 5 commands out there that operate without an XO.
