(CNN)It's been 72 years since the USS Indianapolis went missing after a Japanese submarine torpedoed it in the final days of World War II. Friday, a team of civilian researchers led by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen discovered the cruiser's wreckage on the floor of the North Pacific Ocean, 18,000 feet below the surface, bringing closure to one of most tragic maritime disasters in US naval history. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/19/us/uss-indianapolis-wreckage-found/index.html

Has anyone scrubbed your records? Preferably a Chief that sat the board.

For Chief Selectees who were added, you should be able to see the private Selectee area from the front page of this forum (Hint: look for the skull.) Drop in and say "hello". Also, the FY19 Chief Selection Board thread is up and running! As the Selectees slowly enter the Twilight Zone... <echo, echo, echo>

Unfortunately, the SSP article is gone, it was a good one. I replaced it with the "Are you up for Chief?", thanks for the heads up.

Someone, I think a sister, posted a list, in this thread, of what was talked about as far as what they look for in the selection board process. Several of us agreed that it was a good list. Does anyone remember who posted it or where it is at? I want to added to our 2019 Chief's Board for their viewing.

So we now have the FY19 thread as @subguy10524 mentioned and there is also the private Selectee group for those who made it. If you are a Sel and want to join, please PM me you username, real name and rate so I can match it. Remember for those who did not make it, rest up, and when you start, organize, document and update. And everyday - improve, take on responsibilities, get those quals and certs, take care of your Sailors, and prove that you are worthy of being Chief.

I'll check things out when I get caught up.

You can't see it because I was an idiot savant. You should be able to see it now.

Oh, okay, wait a few...

@IS1(IW/SW/AW/EXW), I finally got yours, I'm catching up with other things in life so give me a few days to get things going. Selectees who request You can see private Selectee forum from the front page. -> http://forum.navyadvancement.com/forum/40-chief-select/

You can see it from the front page. -> http://forum.navyadvancement.com/forum/40-chief-select/

If you can see in the SEL area can you please post? Make sure I got the permissions right.

Okay, I've added some names to the Selectee private forum. I will pretty it up later tonight and during the week when I have more time.

Alrighty then, good enough for the Navy!

Definitely not 8am like they said!

Okay, got you @LSHARP, and by the way, congratulations. I did not get a chance to post with all the chaos!

11:06AM!!??

All righty then, I am in the process of starting a private Selectee area. Any Sel who wants to be added please PM me your name and rate and I can check it against the list. It will only be used to verify it on the list, it will not be listed on the forum, public or private. You always still have the option of using your name on this forum any time you want but that's your decision not mine.

1. Congratulations to the following personnel who have been selected for advancement to chief petty officer by the FY-18 Active-Duty and SELRES Navy E7 Selection Board.
