Is the 2017, 2018, and 2019 list going to be front loaded for the new centralized board proceedings for 2020?

So we all are on the understanding that the centralized boards are going to be conducted every quarter now starting 2020. Now my question for this is, do you think that the individuals that are still waiting on the sequence number to come up from the 2017,2018, and now the 2019 list will be front loaded so that they can start fresh for 2020 quarterly boards? In some MOS's they're still working on the 2017 list. Now I'm not complaining I think its great the new system that is being put into place, but what about the ones still waiting?

How would this play out before the 2020Q are being conducted. In my thoughts it would put the promotion order on hold for a couple of years.

If someone is waiting in a sequence number they were not a selectee? If they were not previously selected they fall into the same pool as everyone else for competition. If I misunderstood and you were selected I apologize. In this case you should remain in the same que as you were before, being selected when the position becomes available. Thank you for your service.

I was curious about this as well. I am also on the 2018 list number 219.

To complicate your question even further, SMA Dailey and the HRC Talent Management SGM (whose name I cannot recall) announced in a live stream interview that there would be no FY20 SFC board. In other words, the board that is currently convening will be the last annual board, and then there will be nothing until FEB 2021, at which time the quarterly boards will begin. For those already selected, you'll continue to be promoted as slots open up. They also claim to be projecting out for future opening to cover the nearly two year gap between June 2019 and Feb 2021. So who knows?

Maybe.. all I know is that merit has always been a variable.. it’s just that now with the new system, it’s the only variable.. and I agree with this! Unless your desire to achieve is intrinsically motivated only.. then what’s the insensitive for striving for excellence when the guy or girl next to you is going to get promoted before you anyway by just chilling and watching the clock tick until their number comes up? Just saying! If you’re meeting your career tracker before scheduled and some.. then you need to be recognized for it! I am a huge advocate for this new centralized promotion system.. now we get to find out who’s really a top performer!
