If so, a recent administrative change in officer promotions will result in some officers being considered for promotion up to a year earlier than expected.
Earlier consideration is great - it means earlier promotion and a bigger paycheck.
It may also affect any major with a DOR between Jan 1 and Feb 28 in 1996 or later. This administrative change will gradually expand the primary zone of consideration for these boards over a three to five-year period. It starts with promotion boards convening in May 2001. The traditional date that a board convenes remains unchanged. Only the primary zone of consideration for these boards is expanding.
