RE: LT Vacancy

SRGrook033 · Senior Member

Can we get an update 63ASAP!!! Thanks in advance

63ASAP · Guru

As of September 4, there are 73 lieutenant vacancies (which includes allotment for LCD/LSA), and an additional 15 on terminal leave. Good news for us, and in line with the "rumors" of them promoting another 90 by years end.

Is the 90 rumor by end of the year confirmed, or will there be 2 classes of 55/50 since there will be 88 vacancies by the end of thenyear according to terminal/vacancies #, and supposed 10-12 captains going in October?

Can't speak to promotions. That's outside of my wheel house. Sorry.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the rumor of 20 captains next month happens to even further the vacancies.

As of November 2, there are 43 lieutenant vacancies (which includes allotment for LCD/LSA), and an additional 18 on terminal leave. Things are looking good! Steady amount of new vacancies with each passing month.

Once the contract is up next year, are we expecting more retirements ?

Someone had posted a few months ago to expect massive vacancies in May when the contract is up.

As of November 16, there are 45 lieutenant vacancies (which includes allotment for LCD/LSA), and an additional 22 on terminal leave. Remember, this does not include today's promotions.

So vacancies should be at 0 now.

Vacancies are actually at +6 now. Dont count on December promotions. Realistically plan for the end of January or early February.

I can see promotions slowing down quite a bit now. My guess is the next class will be in 3 months (it's just a guess btw).

A captains class would obviously help with vacancies. Hope for a big upcoming class plus those on terminal and youre right back at a class of 30-40+

3yrWonder · Senior Member

63ASAP, curious of the numbers since the last promotion pretty much brought us up to little to no vacancies. December update would be great, thanks in advance.

JimmyOneShoe · Member

I don't know if this fits under this topic, but the Chief of Department was asked in the LT class if a new position would be created for NCO LT and he said no pretty quickly because they want to continue to have the NCOs working closely with the XO. He also said he knows some commands give some responsibilities to the SOL, but it is not designed for that. Also, I don't know specifics but one of the instructors also said LTs and Capts can't just be increased at a whim. Those rank totals have to be negotiated unlike Sgts which can be increased based on force numbers of police officers. I am not sure if he meant contractually or what.

I figured I would mention it here since I have read a lot of people talking about it.

brooklynbacon · Guru

Well hopefully the stock market doesnt continue its disastrous dive. If it does there will be zero vacancies as no one is going to retire lol.

MakeMattersWorse · Veteran Member

ditto, my deferred comp got crushed

Caballo Loco · Senior Member

I have no idea why people tie the stock market to retirements. If you are ready to retire a few days of negative trading will have little to no real effect on your pension and most guys will probably leave their deferred comp in some type of investment anyway.

As of December 3, there is 1 lieutenant vacancy (which includes allotment for LCD/LSA), and an additional 18 on terminal leave. Obviously, this was expected, but it's still better than I thought...

As of December 17, there is 1 lieutenant vacancy (which includes allotment for LCD/LSA), and an additional 21 on terminal leave. We've gained +3 on terminal in two weeks...better than nothing.

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 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??
