Looks like reality is starting to set in with class sizes/frequency
Yep, I've said for some time that once we catch up with the vacancies, it'll revert to the usual 180-200 yearly average. That first year was an anomaly to fill the void after the 2015 debacle. Going forward, we'll be seeing the usual numbers.
What about the Capt's list?Any predictions there because that list affects everyone else...
I don't see a reason why we'd deviate from historical averages (for every rank). I'm not sure if someone tallied them up in your thread, but whatever that number is, I suspect that will continue.
Can you post the historical average for each rank??
I don't have that handy. I know LT is 180-200, and that's from the Department's own numbers in 2017. Can't speak for the rest.

Someone in current Sgts Bmoc need to ask Lt NG if there are any rumors of next Lts bmoc. Leadership unit is usually notified in advance to prepare.

I truly hope your right, but I would think something would have come down already.

One of the guys I worked with is in BMOC now. I had him ask LT NG again. The LT originally said there would be a class but is now saying that there is not class in Feb it is looking more like a March 5th promotion.

There are no mentoring sheets going out so theyre not going to randomly assign Sgts to commands. February is a no go.

@ brooklynbacon, Since tentative promotion date changed to March 5th then would there be a chance of March 5th promotion for LTs?

They had a class slated to get promoted the end of February. So with the promotion date being pushed back 1 week, I still expect a small group of LTs to get promoted. I just don't understand why they pushed the promotion date back 1 week

When it does happen, its usually one of two things: funding (less likely) or the PCs schedule has a known conflict (more likely).

As of February 4, there are 18 lieutenant vacancies (which includes allotment for LCD/LSA), and an additional 29 on terminal leave. This does not include the pending captains going in next month, so we'll be at a nice number by mid-march. This is good news and good progress.
