Obviously opinion only. If you guys were mid to upper 350's on the list, would you file for this exam? After this month's promotions, ill have another 140-150 names to go. That leaves 5 more months (including November) of possible promotions. 140-150 names away seems like a lot but hear me out. There are currently 50 on terminal and a bunch of LTs are eligible to retire in august because of a large academy class from 1993. Leaning towards not filing but would like some opinions

You're instilling a lot of confidence in me. After this class I'll be about 60 names away and I was worried I wouldn't make it. I think filing is a no brainer. Worst that happens is you lose a hundred bucks. Now do you waste 4 months studying. Thats the real dilemma.
Thanks for the responses. Booking Fool, you would be a FOOL (I know, a little corny, lol) not to file. They will absolutely promote 60 more in 5 months. The terminal numbers alone dictate 60 more before November. That's not counting another class or two of captains and those who don't take terminal and retire in august.
I am in the same boat. I'm 150 names away after this class goes in, and I'm planning on registering. I'm not killing myself studying like I did for the L.t. Exam, but I'll give it a good try. It's nerve racking not knowing how to plan your life. It's almost a bitter sweet feeling.
