Final key to be posted on DCAS either tonight or tomorrow
List (unpromulgated) to be out by mid-next week

DumbBrass · Senior Member

Brat, How many made the list?

brat4914 · Guru

they didnt give me that info

stiggityone · Guru

No changes! This list is gonna be minuscule!

brat4914 · Guru

List will be 63 people

stiggityone · Guru

That's insane.

90x · Veteran Member

That is insane. I'm sorry for the people that were on the borderline.

wereinbacklog · Guru

Wow, Capt test coming very soon I guess.

technocrat1 · Guru

I seems the early rumors were true with the 63, and no changes.

wereinbacklog · Guru

Is the list out already?

maverick · Veteran Member

UNBELIEVABLE THAT THERE ARE NO CHANGES. LOOK FOR A NEW TEST MIDDLE OF 2013 AT THE LATEST AND TO START PROMOTING OF THE FUTURE CAPT'S LIST BY MID 2014. WOW. THIS LIST WILL LAST A YEAR AFTER THEY START PROMOTING OFF OF IT (MAYBE).

wereinbacklog · Guru

Middle of 2013 is way too soon. My guess would be early 2014.

90x · Veteran Member

I agree I say sometime between January and May of 2014.

On Point Info · Senior Member

I am hearing May 2014 for the next Captains Test.

wereinbacklog · Guru

Makes sense

oneadditional · Guru

The Captains exam will become a frequent exam maybe every 2 years

oneadditional · Guru

I haven't heard anything about May 2014 but I will check my sources. I have been hearing this May 2014 on this site since they announced the last Captains exam.

Brat,
Have you heard anything about a captain's test in 2014? If so, what is the possible month that the test will be given? I'm hearing from a lot of sources that it will be in 2014, including those on this site, but would like a more definate answer if possible...Thanks in advance and congrats on making the captain's list!

Edubz · Senior Member

Sorry, but nobody has any concrete info on another capt test. Depends on retirements,vacancies,etc. it's all just speculation. According to the schools there is always something on the horizon, so u go and buy their total guide or whatever they are selling. They're running a business after all.

wereinbacklog · Guru

I think Brat was a causualty of war on that Captain exam but for some reason I believe she's not down about it lol.

brat4914 · Guru

Yes - I gave a half-azzed attempt and failed.......i honestly have no desire to be a Captain.......too late in my career for that nonsense

BXCOPPER33 · Senior Member

On Point Info · Senior Member

The same source that informed me that there were no changes to the final key has also told me May, 2014 for the next test. We shall see.

natou · Senior Member

wereinbacklog · Guru

natou · Senior Member

bklyn13 · Senior Member

natou · Senior Member

Brat,

I'm really sorry that you didn't make the list...The reason I congratulated you was because I thought I read somewhere that you passed..I think that the department needs more ppl like you that actually look out for others. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

infinity · Senior Member

A lot more people will sign up and take the next one. Younger guys. Less time on. Newly promoted.

brat4914 · Guru

more power to them.......i am done........too late in my career for that headache

I agree, there will be a lot more interest for the next exam. I also predict that eventually ALL promotional exams will become very competitive. The new pension tiers do no incorporate overtime earnings into its calculation. Eventually, the only way new officers will be able to increase their pensions is by getting themselves promoted. Thus my reasoning for the competitiveness of future promotional exams.

Someone posted on Examx that he's hearing Captain exam for October/November 2013.

That is actually incorrect, we had a rep from the pension section in our bmoc who stated that Tier 3 does include overtime in the pension. Whether or not there will be a tier 4 in the future that does not remains to be seen but as of right now everyone is entitled to their overtime in their pension.
