We have the thread for FY 23 board going already if you want to check it out. -> https://forum.navyadvancement.com/topic/6652-fy-23-cpo-e7-selection-board/

Hundreds of thousands of U.S. service members remain unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated against the coronavirus as the Pentagon's first compliance deadlines near, with lopsided rates across the individual services and a spike in deaths among military reservists illustrating how political division over the shots has seeped into a nonpartisan force with unambiguous orders. Overall, the military's vaccination rate has climbed since August, when Defense Department leaders, acting on a directive from President Joe Biden, informed the nation's 2.1 million troops that immunization would become mandatory, exemptions would be rare and those who refuse would be punished. Yet troops' response has been scattershot, according to data assessed by The Washington Post.

The Biden administration is temporarily relaxing the rules for a student loan forgiveness program that has been criticized for its notoriously complex requirements — a change that could offer debt relief to thousands of military members, teachers, social workers and other public servants. The Education Department said Wednesday it will drop some of the toughest requirements around Public Service Loan Forgiveness, a program that was launched in 2007 to steer more college graduates into public service but, since then, has helped just 5,500 borrowers get their loans erased.

WASHINGTON — All Defense Department civilian employees must be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus by Nov. 22, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said in a memorandum issued Monday. While seven weeks remain until the deadline, Defense Department employees only have until Nov. 8 to receive their final shots. The Pentagon does not consider a person fully vaccinated until two weeks after the last shot in the series is administered.

Love it! Study early, check your records, see if you can hook up with board members, etc.!

No public version of the NAVADMIN yet.

Any admins who can get a public copy?

FY22 CPO Selection Board Results Selectees: NAVADMIN 218/21 Precept Convening Order Quotas Membership Announcement: NAVADMIN 50/21 Congratulations!

For spouses and those new to the routine, Sailors are still being notified by TRIAD. 24 hrs later, the public version of the FY-22 Chief's results will be released via a NAVADMIN and Sailors will also be able to view their results in BOL.

Is there an admin that can verify if Triad even has the results?

I really think something should have happened by now.

Has anyone been contacted?

Lol, well right now only members can read that post. Guests are probably trying to figure out why they can't see the Chief's forum.

Easy on the refresh folks, it's killing the forum. For now I made this thread viewable to members only because too many people are hitting refresh.

As usual, if someone gets word, please post.

Alrighty, we need more lurkers to sign up and throw their 2 cents worth while we wait...

I tried looking for that post which should be in one of the prior board forums here but I couldn't find it. So don't quote me on that but I'm glad you brought it up again.

That's an on-and-off topic that has gone on for years here on this forum. I believe it was debunked years ago and went into hibernation only to resurface again in this thread. Unfortunately I can't remember what was said but it was a salty ol' Chief in the know.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan - U.S. sailors and Japanese security personnel checked out new 9 mm handguns at this base south of Tokyo on Friday morning, ending nearly four decades of service with Beretta M9 pistols. As part of a servicewide transition, security officers have been training with the SIG Sauer M18 pistol, which is replacing the M9. The Navy adopted the M9 in 1985, according to Yokosuka’s head of security, Lt. Cmdr. Roel Rosalez.
