On the 2007 Sgt Test (list 6513) section, they say they are up to the 2nd BLC class & up to list # 217 out of 349, with 90 total pass overs for various reasons (time/jammed up/lack of college etc.) this leaves 349-217 = 132 + 90 = 222 names before they need the 08 list. (There is also a thread there that talks about a 3rd BLC in april or may so maybe 222-50=172 ).
All this & a educated guess would tell you 08 list 1st class might be in jan 09
I think the number was 338 passing. so 338 (list) - 217 (list # up to) = 121 (promoted so far) + 90 (skipped) = 211 actually left on the list.
However, you also need to deduct those on the list that either "flew the coop" to nassau/suffolk/FD/everywhere else OR were promoted off of the prior list but took this exam "just in case."
However, you also need to deduct those on the list that either "flew the coop" to nassau/suffolk/FD/everywhere else OR were promoted off of the prior list but took this exam "just in case." I forgot about those people! That is probably a decent chunk of every single exam list on this job. :o
339 passed, 75 promoted in bmoc 1 55 in bmoc 2, people passed over also includes ones who have charges pending and or lack of coll. cred. plus those who have left to other depts and or retired.
It's simple math, 339 - 75-55=209, so maybe 10-15 left the dept for nass, suff, retired or just vested out. You don;t have too know somebody to figure that out.
