A lot of us don't like the new Lt contract. Is it enough of discouragement for anyone to say NO to taking Lt's test? -- Edited by NinR on Friday 12th of December 2014 07:02:41 AM

It's been pretty quiet in here lately! What are all of your predictions as to when first promotions off of this exam will be? My completely unscientific opinion, based on the current list and pace of promotion, is that the first group goes in before the end of 2015. I think it's possible! Thoughts?

Hello guys and gals. Just thought I'd pass it along, in case you are not aware: Mike Yanosick sent out an email offering those who are studying for Lieutenant and looking to check out his course- Week #2 is FREE. Good luck to you all. I hope you get a much better test than the shiitshow I took in 2011.

Explain to me the rules in regards to taking a promotional exam. When the test is scheduled for Saturday and you work a 1920-0417 shift like I do, wouldn't I be excused at 0000 hours? How does this work? On the 2011 sgt exam I took the last few weeks off.
