No back pay, same thing happened last year with the O-5 release, just immediate pin on for those with a number that was already up. Not sure if the DOR was all the same or back dated tho.

DPs do not equal promotion. BTZ DP rate could be 69%...the actual # of promotions is the 10%.

True.

05 here...few and far between.

Fumez Huyck. Was 1 FW king a few years back I think.

I understand your point but how many captains are going to school? This falls under the AFIT gig I assume? Just curious.

I caught that. It would be a curious O-5 list, as the BTZers would already know they are SELs leaving the random few IPZers wondering about the last spots. At that point, who are they trying to kid?

Not at all Dupe. I was just stating what I have seen for OSBs and that they are in line with the guidance now released (the OSBs dropped a wek or two ago). With the practice bleeding being cut, just saying complete is a great step forward. If someone doesn't complete rank appropriate PME, that should be highlighted to the promo board. The real discriminator from the SURF for SRs will be the AAD since you can't practice bleed anymore.

Sorry dude, cynical to say the least. I have seen the OSB for the next board, blank degree block and DE just says PDE complete. Unfortunately though as long as it is still accessible, it can still be used. The next board, the change is more symbolic then anything. The strats people received were influenced by the AAD. You can mask the degree but not the number in the OPR. Hopefully this change will help the '06 but more realistically the '07 and younger yr groups.

Until it is masked on your SURF, it can still be used as a discriminator by your SR.

ACC, M Word blank (complete), PDE-Complete (went in res) on OPB.
