Eddie is not a bad guy, and I don't blame him for keeping his head down. There is only so much friction you can cause before Rodney targets you.

Just ask Jeff and Chuck.

Anyway Levins is too close to retirement to mess it up. And as you might have noticed even those who are active Di*k Holes aren't getting the promotions.

Considering the others that were available for promotion to D/C I personally am very pleased to see Levins get promoted. The department could have been permanently damaged for many years considering who else could have been promoted. Levins has the experience to do well. Sure, he can be an ass sometimes but who isn't. I wish him good luck in his new position......

I like Eddie, he doesn't wear his rank never has, worked with him on and off at the cable box always easy going.

Frankly I'm surprised RoMo didn't pick one of his homies or someone with way less people skills.

Lester to Major? There are better than a dozen people more qualified. Good Grief.

Well, Smathers is a LOT worse than Lester.

He went to the NON leadership RayRay school....throw your rank around, Yell and scream, have a tantrum to get what you want. Couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag. vindictive little guy, too.

Fits right in in this regime....

Congrats to Capt. Farley (C.F.F)
This is a great leader and a true Officer that has earned his rank. I had the honor to work with and for him over the years and has always been true to his word. There is hope for our Dept. with good men working there way to the top!
