Why do you keep thinking just because a list will be established they'll cut an old list. This dept does not do this and has not in over 10 years, and even then it's a bad comparison based on scores that were cut (below 59%). The new captains list just sat about 9 months waiting to finish the older list. The last 2009 sgt's list also sat for over a year as the 2008 one finished. It took 15 months to hit a list number of 710. I would guess to do another 7-800 list numbers it will take another 15 months. At that point the list Is finished and the new list will only have sat about 9 months. I don't know seems pretty normal to me based on every other list in the last 10 years.

That's because they are bitter people in this world that enjoy causing stress to others. You're absolutely correct. Of course a cut is possible, it just doesn't seem likely here. The last Lt's list was cut because the 4 year mark came. As I said in an earlier post the explanation for the new test is simply that the '93,94 95 class hired 2500+ people each, many of which are now sgts. Over the next 5 years there will be a monstrous amount of promotions. This list is not getting cut.
All I care is that they keep pacing BMOC classes long enough so as I can be made. I personally believe the cut off is real. This is my belief and the threat is real.
Why do people come here with their opinions on what they think is happening? This site is for information from legitimate sources for the benefit of all. There is no evidence the list is getting cut, only speculation brought by the fact that the list is long. Everyone should just relax about this list being cut. Personally I'd take the next test anyway. For peace of mind as well as more practice for another Lt's test thats sure to come around soon. This list has four years. It's moving at a nice pace. There's no reason to think it'll be cut.
