            This decision had taken more than two years, and thousands of words back and forth.  I had found that a few things were wrong about the second promotion board's findings, and I was able to argue that I shoud be able to dispute them.  They included the fact that one of the four categories that the original winner won this time around, he had lost to another (third) candidate during the original promotion board.  So, even though he beat me in this category, he did not own it.  If the third candidate had been included in this board, that third candidate should still have won that category instead of the now winning candidate.  Next, consider that the winning candidate had eleven years in Forensic Ident while I had twenty-seven.  Can anyone honestly say that both he and I had equal qualifications in Education/Training and especially in Experience.  Consider the experience of Swissair 111 and all that was involved, and that the winning candidate never stepped foot in either hangar. 

            However, promoting me would have caused a severe embarrassment and potential problems for management, especially with regards to the final ruling for the Swissair 111 file.
