As per Lts forum, looking like March 27th. Lets keep it going !

Jopagocks · Veteran Member

Current BMOC is in until April 3rd. Will they overlap, or start another class after current one is complete? So April 6th.

C is the Answer · Veteran Member

Really? 5 weeks ? Are they doing that FTO training again like a few classes ago? The 9/5 class did 5 weeks and they still promoted the next class 10/3 then again end of that month to fix it being the end of the month promotion. i still believe they will still be a class March 27.

With both Elite and Key announcing their classes without a DCAS posting for the next exam (assuming coming soon) where do we think the list will get to 2800? 2900? 3000?

KeyCapt · THE KEY—Instructor

Here are some facts based on math as of Feb 2026:

List Established - May 2023

Expires - May 2027 (unless God forbid another COVID)

Total on list - 4347

Total promoted - 1989

Time until list expires - 15 months

AVG promoted per month - 60

Projected future promotions - 904

Projected final list # promoted - 2893

A week away from the finest dropping what we hearing ?? 125 ?

Also

The math the Key is great although if you just do the math of the 29 previous BMOC (not including the month the did not promote) thats about 69 Sgt per class 15 month left that another 1,035. That will leave us at around 3024. Hope it goes as high as it can for many of you that study hard.

Im curious do they promote until another test is given and new list is made ? Does anyone remember how long the last test took to create a list ?

Rs4u · Member

August 2022 last exam

May 2023 list established

first bmoc that month

Chickensurprise33 · Veteran Member

So the next test tentatively scheduled for 2/2027. According to statistics from last test , it took 9 months to establish a new list. That would put new list to be established on 11/2027. My question is will they continue to promote after 5/2027 which is when our list set to expire ?

Passit100 · Senior Member

I can definitely see them continue because if they just stop right when our list expires remember sergeants will continue to either retire get promoted Etc to leave the list sitting there in suspension without any promotions until the other one gets established would seem a little odd but you never know only time will tell I hope for everyone's sake that they will continue to promote until that list gets established
