Kinda' ominous

Into the Valley of Death, rode the 600... sorry, no horse thingy

I bet some have been taking notes the last two pages...

That's the same one that caught my eye and that can be applied to just about anything!

Good one there, which reminds me... Former 13-year Navy SEAL on the 6 Best Practices To Sustain Superior Performance (SSP)

Thanks much @OS1, its fun more than trouble, thanks again.

- Alrighty then, I was hoping that this would be a non-eventful day but it was not. However, the issue with the server is about done. - As a reminder, @KnockoutTrish is available to help spouses and she has the knowledge and experience. - An individual, who claims he is a Chief, came on this forum and tried to cause problems for reasons unknown. It probably would have taken longer to get the connection if it wasn't for the strange name of the city that his IP is connected to. I've saved his info in case he tries something for the third time. - Someone came on this forum and was insistent that the results were going to fall on a certain date. When it appeared that it was changing, that individual edited his posts to reflect the change. Folks, don't come on the forum and insist that you are the one in the know. When I get some good gouge, I do a little vetting - one post from a newbie is not going to make me change what I put out. Just remember that all scuttlebutt is welcome but leave a little room for error; don't be so gosh darn insistent. Otherwise, we have done very good in the past with the dates. - We are looking at the 7th, 8th, timeframe for results. Thanks to TM1/SS for the early heads up, I think the 27th of Jul.

okay, it's probably showing last years and the update is reflective of the UIC.

Is this your first time going up?

you are fine, I'm havving support look at my server for strange anomalies of the third kind - business as usual. You have my trust. I'll be in and out and they may turn off server. All good.

interacting with “my people.” "openly sharing information." I think you nailed it. And openly sharing info not only helps move the mission forward, it helps other team members contribute that mission.

but it's good that we are getting updates so thanks much!

Thanks for updating us @Ride14

Here's a reminder: Aug 8 Triad release Aug 9 Public - I had to close the forum for registration - I've opened the forum for public viewing, I'll see if we can handle it. - As a note, when you put bogus stuff when registering, the account gets deleted. - You need to respond to the validation email I am posting this as the most reliable as far as sources go. The caveat is that all sources included trying to get the results out as early as possible and that they simply got behind schedule.

REF B IS BUPERSINST 1430.16F, ADVANCEMENT MANUAL FOR ENLISTED PERSONNEL OF THE U.S. NAVY AND U.S. NAVY RESERVE.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the update to reference (a) and Sailors in the MMA (Auxiliary) and MMW (Submarine Weapons) ratings accessed into the United States Navy Reserve. In support of Reserve initiatives to retain talent and increase Reserve Component (RC) to Active Component (AC) permeability, MMA and MMW rated Sailors are no longer required to convert to the Machinist Mate (MM) rating when transitioning into the RC. This change will allow these Sailors to maintain their critical skillsets and remain better aligned with the career paths of their AC counterparts, enhancing their ability to move between the Active and Reserve components. Accordingly, MMA and MMW candidates must take the appropriate exam that matches their specific rate. 2. Educational Services Officers (ESO) should ensure that MMA exams are ordered for MMA candidates and MMW exams are ordered for MMW candidates. ESOs should contact Navy Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) to order exams for those Sailors whose initial exams were not ordered in the correct rate. Exams shall be ordered via message or in message format via e-mail to sfly_N321_exam_order(at)navy.mil following the guidelines in chapter 4 of reference (b). Ensure a point of contact is included in the message. Deadline to order additional selected reserve exams is 4 September 2018. 3. Any additional information regarding this cycle will be posted on the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website. 4. Points of contact: a. Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center: 866-U-ASK- NPC, or via e-mail at uasknpc(at)navy.mil. b.

okay so on the latest scuttlebutt, at least a portion jives with was said from the beginning was that they are trying to get it out as soon as they can but planed it for the 8th as a matter of being behind schedule. if I don't make sense , I am typing fast.

okay, thanks for that, I need the input while I do my thing on the server.

we're going to need to slow down with the pictures for some time...

Well thank you for posting!

so while checking someone's account, I found that a whole bunch of people locked themselves out. Now I know why a few people stopped posting. If you get locked, contact me!

If you can, keep checking your sources. I'm having issues with the server so I'm preoccupied. I haven't heard from any of my sources. The Chief's area is closed to public view for now.

For those who make it, remember, if you have a spouse that needs information or help, you can contact @KnockoutTrish. Actually, anyone who needs help can contact her. I asked for her help once when a distressed spouse in a bad situation needed help. Since they were new, the spouse contacted me because she did not know who else to contact. I treated it like an emergency and contacted KnockoutTrish who took over immediately.
