For one person, I re-sent the validation because it automatically deletes the pending account after about two days - I hope you see the validation email and join up. Also you lurkers are more than welcome to join and speak, vent or part with knowledge.

Alrighty then - we have more people joining up. I think an old timer is re-joining too. If you are that old-time, please let me know. For some, you need to reply to the validation email. If you don't see it, check your spam filter or ask your friendly IT.

Well, I seriously hope you make it and do thank you for the advise and posts you've given over the years!

Okay people, rebooting in a few minutes. Fasten your seat belts.

Wow, that's got to be it then. The barber's wife's uncle, who is married to a friend who knows the guy at the butcher shop who gossiped to the commissary worker has got to be a closer source!! I think we need to assemble the forum's snoopy team and head out to said commissary to confirm this!

The guy on base who cuts my hair has a girlfriend who is the dog groomer of the Commanding Officer's dentist. He said that the dentist's relative of his in-laws is calling it Aug 2nd - sure bet.

Yeah, join up folks...

But at the end, just before separating from the armed forces, servicemembers’ most common medical diagnosis was mental health disorders, a new Pentagon study has found. Mental disorders — almost never diagnosed at the beginning of military service — became the top diagnostic category at the end, according to the study by the Defense Health Agency, which surveyed 45,000 troops who served 4-15 years beginning in 2000 and separated in 2014 and 2015. https://www.stripes.com/news/mental-disorders-most-frequent-medical-diagnosis-among-servicemembers-just-before-separation-pentagon-study-says-1.539022

Yes @Frye_Daddy, go on!

And then we have the drive by posters who come on, give a date only, as if they are the authority and then leave without a peep, most likely trying to stir the pot.

Yep, you hit it on the nail. Throughout the years we've had a person or two drop by with reliable stuff. Then it slowed down with the compromises which is a totally different animal because these were names and board stuff that was compromised (the selection process) not info on the release which is after (CNP?) gives his final hominy dominy to release the actual Navadmin. There are many funny stories about that.

I thought so! Thanks man, I was like "am I loosing it?"

By gosh, I think you are right. Before it had the A,B, C groups right?

Talk about Sustained Superior Performance.

I think I'd better set up the first aid station early this year!

Welcome and glad you finally joined.

I am glad to say that the Selectee/ Chiefs group is up and running and some are networking. I'm especially happy that this got going during the Reserve's release. If you are a Selectee and would like to join that group, please send me your first, last name and rate.

The first pay increment for newly selected Chief Petty Officers begins September 16th. No less than 3% will be advanced monthly by seniority in each rating, and by fair share numbers across all ratings. A little more than 65% of the CPO selectees will be advanced in the final pay increment, August.
