In fact, I have personally spoken to both individuals and was impressed with their acceptance and understanding of my reasons for making this decision. After my discussions with them I believe that neither officer would want to accept- such a position under these circumstances, but would rather be in a position to demonstrate their true abilities through attainment of an academically acceptable score. This, in itself, demonstrates the conscientious character of both of these individuals. After your consideration of this decision, i request that any remaining names on the promotional fiat for the position of Corporal be submitted to me as soon as possible. i understand that section 143.036 requires that those individuals that have been passed over for the first time be returned to the eligibility list until they have been promoted or passed over on three occasions.
