Shotsfired · Guru

I'm gonna bet there's a class in March but the big hope is that the class is a substantial size. Realistically this is the last guaranteed month of eligible promotions for the 2015 Lieutenants exam. If you don't make this class hoping for up front promotions in April is the last chance at a shot at that test.

Shotsfired · Guru

What happen to those big classes we use to see? Now if we get a class of 50 it would be considered a big class.

Semp1 · Guru

The same number of promotions at the end of the year at a more steady rate.

gEo · Veteran Member

Sux wen u miss it by one or two names...

Pacinoflow · Member

142x ... Less than 35 names away and I just received a denial letter from DCAS. What do I do!!??!?!?

Shotsfired · Guru

What's a denial letter ?????

Pacinoflow · Member

It states I won't be receiving an admission card, I will not be permitted into the test site and that I won't be getting a refund. It says their records show I'm not empoyed in an eligible title, or that by the date of the test I will not have served permanently in an eligible title for the minimum period required.

That's weird bc if there is a class next month you are in and you will be able to take the lt test. Dcas has nothing to do with when Sgt classes go in so I don't see how they can deny you already. I'm sure someone like semp will have an explanation. I would contact dcas.

Failboat · Senior Member

Unless they know that there's no March class

Shotsfired · Guru

They wouldn't know that info. There are people in personnel that don't know that info right now so def dcas wouldn't know. Unless I'm somehow wrong. I'm sure someone has more concrete info.

signmy28 · Veteran Member

You may enter BMOC in March, but it could be the end of March, hence you won't get promoted until a date after April 18th. Hopefully that's not the case.

Failboat · Senior Member

I'm 142x also bro. I live in suffolk didn't get letter yet I'll let u know

63ASAP · Guru

You're technically not a sergeant so my guess is the computer spits that letter out automatically. I'm almost positive you can sign up for the test after the filing date if you attain the rank after the cut off for which you can sign up. I would call them and ask them quite simply what happens if you attain the rank between now and April 18. If you're promoted before then you should have no problems taking the test...don't worry.

Pacinoflow · Member

I hear you 63Asap... My concern is having to file twice and paying twice...

63ASAP · Guru

Honestly, while it would suck to pay again, you'd still get to take it. Being one of the last eligibles, count your blessings for that!

Pacinoflow · Member

Good point!

DetSwayze · Veteran Member

I'm 143* and got the same letter. Will call DCAS tomorrow (212-669-1357).

Failboat · Senior Member

Ugh when does it get easy

spartan85 · Senior Member

The question is did any of the guys in the current BMOC get the same letter. If they did I wouldn't worry about it.

Drago · Member

I'm in February bmoc and I got this letter today too. It says that I have 30 days to write or fax the appeal letter if I disagree with the notice.

queensfinest · Senior Member

So wait can we take the test or not if we are in the current bmoc

Failboat · Senior Member

You can, just appeal the form and if you dont hear nothing when people start getting there test location notices goto dcas in person.

wereinbacklog · Guru

As long as you get promoted a day before the exam you will be allowed to register.

queensfinest · Senior Member

I have a feeling this isn't gonna go smooth.

spartan85 · Senior Member

If you are in BMOC currently just file an appeal. They will let you take the exam. If not. Wen you get promoted call them and you will be good for the exam.

bngeek · Senior Member

I have a feeling this isn't gonna go smooth.
Of course it won't. You're dealing with DCAS... bunch of idiots they are.

Shotsfired · Guru

Anyone call dcas and get an explanation ?

Same thing here. Got the letter on Wednesday even before the finest came down.

Shotsfired · Guru

I'm 142x as well as some of you guys and I didn't Receive anything. Guess I should be expecting my letter any day..

DetSwayze · Veteran Member

Well I tried a few times to call DCAS, as soon as I hit "0" to speak to a representative, I automatically get disconnected, what a shocker. I guess I'll be there Monday morning.

queensfinest · Senior Member

Yep same thing

gEo · Veteran Member

Got the same letter n if theres another class im in

CHINSTRAP · Veteran Member

I just spoke to the testing and research unit. They said dcas is assuring them that if you are promoted before April 15th, dcas will link your payment through your social security number. You will be eligible to take the exam, and you will NOT have to pay twice. However if there is no March Bmoc, yet they decide to put people in for april, then it is up to the Job to promote cops to Sgt up front.

CHINSTRAP · Veteran Member

disbelief By the way I got DCAS the letter in the mail as well

queensfinest · Senior Member

someone is gonna get screwed in this process by not receiving a admission card because someone didn't check the fax at dcas

Semp1 · Guru

You can register up to the day before the test for any "valid" reason. 1 of those reasons being when the sign up was offered you were not eligible. That is an actual listed reason by DCAS. Don't worry. It's not going to be an issue. It takes 1 second in person to do.

queensfinest · Senior Member

The instructor today said she hasn't heard anything about a class as yet

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Too early to say. Hopefully so. I know a guy who's 50-55away

spartan85 · Senior Member

Congrats queens. Glad you made it finally. FYI the instructors won't know anything until about a week before you graduate. Nice of you to update everyone though :). Good luck with a command.

Shotsfired · Guru

Good luck queens and thanks for the update. 35-40 names away for me so hopefully there is a class next month.

NinR · Senior Member

It's not really news. I'm just gonna tell u what Lt from bmoc told us. He said he doesn't know about next month class yet. But if there's one then he will know 2 weeks in advance. Also he spoke about cutting current list. He said they have been holding off 2013 list for almost year and a half now. He does not have any info on wether they will cut 2011 or exhaust it. All that he said was "They cannot have 2 active lists at the same time." So they will either rush the remainder of 2011 list or cut it off.

gEo · Veteran Member

This Lt has been talking **** for yrs now....wat a ballbag

Shotsfired · Guru

He said the list was getting cut 250 names ago lol. Guy is clueless.

queensfinest · Senior Member

He did seem sure at all.He said it is unlikely because they have less than 300 left.You guys will be fine don't worry

NinR · Senior Member

It was our first time meeting him. So I'm just passing along what he said.
