Congratulations to all, I actually know one of the new lieutenants. I didn't even know he made sergeant, I guess it's been awhile....
Do they lose their seniority when promoted, so a new sergeant is fair game to be sent out to the Berkshires?

There's no seniority bid for sergeants...they can be moved at will. Naturally, the "senior" sergeant at a scene would take command, but that's about the extent of seniority for non-coms. Hopefully the tests will fall in quick order allowing the NC to get a quick promo to Lt.
