In my division no one got promoted from e2 to e3. They wanted to promote the e1s first. But its possible. And you should know everything they teach you in dep. But the dep test at boot camp wont promote you unless you are an e1. So if you are e2 than it doesnt apply to you.

He is. I like him but I'm from ny so he's a normal Brooklyn guy in my eyes. A lot of ppl at our spot is intimidated by him.

If you don't need experience, then how does the auditioning process go? Like if I were to try out with no prior experience, do they have you perform certain things like on drums or what?

I classed up in a week, I have actually been in school for almost 3 weeks now. I heard later in the summer the wait gets longer though.
