Nothing's guaranteed. And there's already been down months in the 2012 calendar year. Granted from the 2009 list but still a down month.

With DCAS already establishing a filing date for the next Sgt exam, I think the job is looking to blow through this list, so I don't see how we'll have any down months.
Semp1 said
Oct 24, 2012
Nope. Doesn't mean that. Even with a test in sept 2013. The list wouldn't be established until April/may 2014. Activation of that list will happen 4-6 months later when the 2011 list is completely done. They're blowing through the list even with down months it's on track to be done before 2015.

Gut feeling from seeing how things normally work. 2008 list went almost a year as 2009 list waited to be activated after it was established. Last BMOC class of 2008 list was half 2008 and half 2009 in one BMOC class. I'm realistic. It's obvious what's going to happen. The list is getting blown through fast. The dept has 10,000 eligible retiree's in the next 3 years. Many being bosses they need all the sgts they can get. I mean what do people think will happen? The dept will just cut a list unnecessarily 2 years in. Sorry it's not going to happen. I said it before and ill say it again. This whole list wil be made by January 2015.

any inside info or just your gut feeling?

This is only a tentative template of when exams could be scheduled give or take a few months. I do not think the Dept would kill this list due to the possibility of the next test having a low passing rate. That coupled with massive retirements would leave the job very short on supervision which we all know the job does not want.

Now my question is, should I still take the 2013 Sgt test, since I'm near the bottom of this list? This new test rumor is getting me a lil nervous, since it goes back to the point some of the trolls were making about this list being cut short. Thanks.

Study hard and either way it will contribute to your future when you realize how easy the Lieutenants test will be for you.

I think an LT test is possible at some point in 2014. Would be nice, hopefully by then I'll have 6mo-1yr in rank! lol. They're already a little over 20% through the current one.

So any word on December class and how many??
CIWarrior said
Nov 14, 2012
Ok so I heard from someone that is in the know that the december class has a tentative start date of december 3rd and it is going to be on the larger side. Im also hearing that the job is looking to have non stop back to back BMOC's til june of 2013. Now Ive never been a person who spreads false info so please dont hold me to this, but the person works in an office that knows this info. Fingers are crossed that it all comes true. **** the trolls guys. Things are looking very positive

It would be, but i'm guessing that since no one else has heard it that it isn't true
EDAYKING said
Nov 14, 2012
That would be great, but knowing this job, they will not give away free money like that. LoL
CryTwoSeven said
Nov 15, 2012
Just to throw it out there but 2 classes in at the same time has happened before. They would have 1 class in at the academy and the other class would do a outside training like the range and Switch up every week (not all training is in that academy room). Don't think it will happen but it's a possibility.

Why would they promote upfront. No one is a hold over. The class was completely cancelled due to the hurricane.
Wheresthelist said
Nov 15, 2012
I agree. Like i said i heard a RUMOR and wanted to know if anyone else heard the same
steve47 said
Nov 15, 2012
i heard the same about the possible upfront promotion as well
CIWarrior said
Nov 15, 2012
Im heari g a ridiculous number like 80 something but I believe the max capacity is 75. Ill say to be safe probably between 60-70 upfront promotion would be friggin awesome although I havent heard anything about that yet. I hope what Im hearing is true also guys
Su Madre 24 said
Nov 15, 2012
I range between 925-945 I projected a November '13 promotion. If it comes sooner: Thank God.
I like where I work. Work with good folks...just antsy to start the next phase of my career and make sure I qualify for the next LT test
BoogieDownMarine said

CIWarrior, has your source given you reliable info in the past regarding BMOC?
CIWarrior said
Nov 15, 2012
They were just recently assigned to the unit they are getting the info from. They wouldnt have had access to such info before that. The place they work definitely would be a source of quality info regarding this topic
Su Madre 24 said
Nov 15, 2012
CIWarrior I hope you are right and hopefully many of these classes are huge.

Only a true loser would bring family into an argument. Moderators he just dug his own grave. Stop allowing people like this to ruin this site, otherwise there is no point in having you guys around. Do the right thing and oust Izzo and his aliases
