What about limited?

i thought as long as youre not restricted your okay to get promoted

Guy i worked with went out with COVID last year and got passed over. He was in the next class once he came back.

You must be full duty for promotion. In my 1.5 year stint in MedDiv there was a girl who was restricted, they had to make her full duty for a day for promotion to detective specialist then returned her to restricted.

You 10000% can not get promoted while out sick unless you are pregnant. Sick you will get passed and be put in when youre full duty. Its right in the patrol guide btw.

Currently amazed you even passed this exam by your question, considering multiple people above already stated you must be full duty.
