Thant is next to an impossible task.

Hopefully, next years package will be even stronger.

After the public list comes out tomorrow, those who made it can contact me and have their member changed to "Chief Selectee". You will then disappear but after you've returned from the desert Isle, you can then have your status changed to "Chief."

I think it depends on the command you are at.

Correct

Well that was quick! Congratulations!!

As usual, the first aid station is by vulture's row. I see @UwantMotrin? is here so if you want Motrin, well he is here . Apparently, @UwantMotrin? is also passing around socks if I'm not mistaken. Remember that this is TRIAD's day and that the public release comes out 24hrs later. Not sure why, but @sk32004toLSC is walking around with a big smile on his face.

Agree

Folks, @smellofdiesel has entered the building...

Really no need for that.

Really your second. My admin name shouldn't be there because I'm just posting the news and whatnot.

You must be psychic beyond the quantum realm! I never put out who gets what but all I will say is you qualify for something after 07/31/2019 at 10:45 PM.

Folks, please remember you need to reply to the registration email when you sign up... And those lurking, how about joining know? When things get hot and heavy, I will close registration until the chaos and calamity calms down.

If anyone is queasy and needs some motrin, contact @UwantMotrin? at the first aid station near vulture's row.

Thanks for the important update!!

@MILSPOUSE01 already posted but thanks: Wednesday, Jul 31 at 1100 EST - TRIAD Thurs, Aug 01 at 1100 EST - Public

Solid and confirmed. Thank you @MILSPOUSE01

Glad to see you around, you've been pretty quite.

@Riverine Rat passed out!!

Folks, I also want to point out that I believe that is something new they are doing. I did not see that much in the past. Then they changed to "let's try to get info quicker to the troops."

I did a software upgrade last night that had issues. If anyone could not log in last night/ this morning, please try again or contact me.

Agree! If I had an original copy I would feel better (I could check the header info) but I do trust this member.

Yes tomorrow. Also 1700 cet = 11 am edt. That message came from Europe.

Here's a redacted version of what one of the members sent. -----Original Message----- From: < REDACTED> Sent: Monday, July 29, 2019 4:46 PM Subject: FW: -- CHIEF PETTY OFFICER INITIATION -- Good afternoon EURAFSWA Leaders, The < REDACTED> made some great points and I wanted to ensure everyone was able to digest. Wednesday at 1700 (CET) we will find out the results. Please note that Naples will not be starting their official CPO Initiation Season until Monday 5 August. Please note that you must show your boss the results prior to sending it to the Mess. Your boss is the final authority if you will be frocking your Selectee's. This is not automatic, and there are requirements that must be met (BCA/PFA and CPOLC). Contact me if you are having difficulties seeing the results. V/R < REDACTED> -----Original Message----- From: < REDACTED> Subject: -- CHIEF PETTY OFFICER INITIATION -- Leadership Mess - attached are a few "Point of Emphasis" from Laying the Keel. This points in no way take precedence on this document but I am rather using them as another tool / reminder of some of the things that we must remind ourselves as we move out on this extremely important process - a process we own. A proven delivery method that produces great Chief Petty Officers and Leaders. -- We own this process. Leadership is a privilege and a true honor, but it is also a tremendous responsibility. With MCPON's Laying the Keel, we have all been charged with the responsibility of leading our First Class Petty Officers to become: "Confident, yet humble Leaders relentlessly dedicated to the continuous improvement of their teams and themselves. Drives excellence in leading our Navy team forward across the operation and warfighting competencies." We are all a product of this beloved process - a process in which we will invest for the future of our Navy, our Chiefs' Mess, our Country. Let's own it, let's lead it, let's go out and safely develop this newly selected Chief Petty Officers to be better than us. The challenges our Navy will face in the future will require their dedication and commitment to help fight and lead our Sailors to continue to achieve mission success and carry on the traditions behind the world's greatest Navy. Charge! V/r < REDACTED>

Well, @PO Theo is an Admiral's Adviser, he should know...
