Right, especially those prone to the melodramatic with those lingering facial expressions. "I can't believe you are not a Chief yet!!!" ruf, bow wow!!

Well, the last time it was done on a Friday was 2009. Christyl posted a copy a few post back. Even before that I remember the chatter about "not releasing on a Friday" but there were still some releases. Don't know... As far as the advance release for Triad, I think it is inconsistent. Not sure if they do it all the time (actually pretty sure) and I can't remember it being a requirement anyway. A while back, not many on this forum were aware of the notice so I posted a copy. I later realized that they don't give notice every time or maybe I couldn't find the copies.

I don't think so, they would have to announce that they are releasing the public copy in less than 24 hours. That is part of the current timeline. 24 hours Triad, then public release.

Thanks, so far so good!

Not sure. And I had a copy some time back, and said "here is an example" but don't remember where I got it. Hopefully, someone has more info.

I don't see a release to Triad on a Friday. That means the public release would be a Saturday.

No, we would have been notified of the release to Triad. It would then be release 24 hours later to the public.

Standby for some heavy bumps and bruises as some maintenance is performed. There may be interruptions.

Noooo... hows about 30 seconds and give the server a chance to breath?

Yes, it was Boatsnuggyd. And I had to remind them that I am not Buper's bootie.

slow down with refreshing please

reboot in 5 minutes

To be honest though, this has been one of the more civil and entertaining groups while waiting.

No DS13, you were not banned nor was it because of your opinion (whatever that may be). You didn't bother to read the guidelines or heed the warning that I had just posted. If you were banned, I would have kept your account and you would only be able to see Davy Jone's Locker. In fact (as I slowly turn into a skeleton a la Pirates of the Caribbean) this is the time when people start getting angry, do not take heed, and throw caution to the wind as frustration sets in over the wait. So two people were kicked off, and two more set to the deserted Isle until high noon, when they can then re-join in merriment. Those two who were kicked off can register again and thus must agree (again) to the terms of registration - the guidelines.

Lol, I should put that as one of the bad word filter replacements. They'd be like what the...

The portion that I failed to mention is that if you bypass the bad word filter, there are consequences. Remember the guideline folks.

Some may wonder why they haven't been approve. If you do not reply to the registration validation email, I can't take action. It's somewhat automated. You have to whitelist navyadvancement.com and check your spam folder for that email. Also, it's not a good idea to bypass the bad word filter. Otherwise, someone may use a word here or there and then it begins to degenerate to very bad phrases. I am speaking from experience on this forum. That is the reason for no bad words. Also remember that family members visit this forum. A little trivia is that a young French lady signed up on this forum looking for her sweetheart Sailor and actually did find him as he posted a thank you.

You got it.

It's for the dinner list I'm sure. Basically, who would want fillet mignon with Hasselback potatoes & finely chopped chives, or prime roast beef with with Thyme Au Jus & mashed potatoes with Butternut Squash.

I think everyone is worn out...

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy announced Monday that it has reconvened the FY-18 Active-Duty Advancement Selection Board for Master Chief Petty Officers in Millington, Tennessee. The board was suspended April 12, after the Navy received a report that board deliberations may have been compromised. The eligibility list for the board remains the same and quotas that were released April 3, will be used. There are a total of 506 quotas, an increase of 32 quotas from last year's board, and opportunity is above the 10-year opportunity average of 13.01 percent for E-8's to advance to E-9. The full list of Cycle 233 active duty E-9 quotas is available here -> http://www.navy.mil/ah_online/documents/1704_E9QuotasSheet.pdf

Agree, that's abouts how I've seen it too going way back.

Every once in awhile, we have members of this forum who have to go through it and mostly legal but can't remember some of the stuff. In fact, I think one of the seasoned members who did bring it up on this forum but made it after a lengthy hold.
