Overheard a couple of officers talking about the recent sgt. openings that have yet to be filled and heard one of them mention that only (2) openings a month are going to be filled. Is that right? We're down 2 on our shift and there's at least 4 more spots yet to be filled throughout the unit so what gives? Nobody applying or nobody meets with the current standard?

May be a lack of interest. When at Clemens often only two people would apply for a SGT position. Atleast once they re-boarded because the warden didn't believe the applicants were qualified.

10 Months Probation I can't apply this go around.. Have they Picked a New Major Yet? Where did the all the SGTs go? I hear HR is Hiring also along with Mailroom.. HR would be Nice But I hear they are having Issues also. Shame to hear Ms Moon Quit. I liked her..Was always Able to get along with her.

One at the Smith Unit and the other at the Scott Unit.

Looks like Major Major Harris is returning to Allred though it's supposedly still up in the air as to whether he will take over in ECB or they'll reshuffle. Sgt. wise we had several quit, one transferred to Clements, at least one promoted leaving an opening and one decided the trenches were the place to be. Been hearing that they're not having the turnout i.e. selection of qualified applicants they want to choose from so maybe this is why selection is dragging out.

"Yikes" is as good a word as any. Heard his first day on the job is going to be 11/2 but that's a Saturday so maybe I misunderstood.

I heard there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, oil in them thar hills, and stars are good for wishing on. Good luck with those lottery numbers though "maybe" you'll get the winners!

BAH!!! To hell with the lottery, wishing upon the stars.....etc. Suck it up. Do your time. RETIRE with that free money coming in. Trust me when I say, It's worth it.
Then you can look back and say "F YOU. I made it, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it."

Looks like GP 1/1 Laberta will be Top Pick for Next SGT.
On a Side Note I heard only 7 applied Last Board...typically around 30 Apply each Board about 22 will actually Test.

10 Months Probation I can't apply this go around.. At the rate they're actually filling all the empty positions you should be off probation in time enough. With 4+ sgt. openings still open and only 2 promoted in the last few months it looks like either nobody is applying or their qualifications don't fit the bill. Obviously a lot of us aren't perfect.

Lets see what happens after the Prostate Cancer Surgery...no Idea where I will be in 10 Months
