Fixed Term Promotions- Lt.-Capt.

[EL_CAPATIANO]

Does anybody know when the fixed term promotions for Lt.-Capt. will be signed off by the Dept? The Dept. seem to be dragging their heels on these promotions.

RDFRA say that it is only a matter of time and they will be back dated to May. I know of a few officers waiting on the promotion. They were of the opinion that they would have it for summer camps/cources.

well those of them that can spell after the training COURSEs will probably be in line when the vacancies occur!

The Dept is dragging it's heels because it'll be creating a lot of unnecessary Captains.
