Speaking of which... we never had any HMs volunteer yet. It's a miracle you survived no pulse, no breathing, and being throw over the side! An HM would have expedited your recovery so you could have started stressing sooner over the results!

Roger deep six aye!

Yes, no pulse, no breathing!

@OneLastDance was serious. We just had to bring (him or her) to the first aid station

Lol, it's this forum. The software is buggy, not your fault.

Amen to that

Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Yeah, most everyone is pretty set on the first week of Aug.

Lol, I cringe thinking about that. That and the paper airplanes: I would have to shut the forum down and remove the posts because they were going so fast.

I know right? Kinda' kills the mystic...

He was guessing like all of us...

Actually, @AWFChief has been a member of this forum for a long time. He is also a friend of my friend who has special access to the admiral's secretary who is in Pensacola. Also, scuttlebutt has it that AWFChief is an Illuminati so there may be a little more to his post, "The 3rd would be my guess as well", than what would have one believe. Just need to read between the lines a little...

Yes folks and that intel is so hot, my hands are still burning from that phone call!

I'll throw in my usual band-aids & whatnot on the server until things calm down. By then things may calm down (server-wise) as people get calls.

If the server crashes, it will be because of the forum software. It's buggy.

Yes, I think I saw 1.

My friend, stationed in Pensacola, who has special access to an Admiral’s secretary said that the secretary overheard the admiral telling a CDR that he expects the Chief's results to be released possibly within a time frame that is agreeable to the CNP but that maybe it could be released before or after that date. He said the critical determination would be if they are finished or not. I'll keep you all posted if I hear more from my friend...

Okay good, we have 1 CPR instructor and one rescue swimmer standing by! We're ready!

Lol, I thought there might be a reaction to that post, people are on edge now. Reminder, the first aid station by vulture's row is all set up. We need some HM volunteers to standby and a few stretcher bearers...

Here it is -> A Tradition of Change CPO Initiations to CPO 365 by ITCM James Leuci

That's right, chaos would ensue as people re-doubled their efforts to check their sources to confirm. Then of course there were the friend of the Admiral's dog groomer's ex-wife's cousin twice removed. Remember those well too.

Yeah, back in the days (you were here too), there were a few who would post who did have some good intel. Others would email me.

UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 141556Z JUL 16 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// NAVADMIN 160/16 MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/JUL// SUBJ/ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENT LIMITED DUTY OFFICER OFF-RAMP INITIATIVE GUIDANCE// REF/A/DOC/CHNAVPERS/6FEB14/NOTAL// REF/B/DOC/OPNAV/24DEC05// REF/C/DOC/BUPERS/17SEP07// NARR/REF A IS CHIEF OF NAVAL PERSONNEL DECISION MEMORANDUM ON LIMITED DUTY OFFICER AND CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE. REF B IS OPNAV INSTRUCTION 1210.5, LATERAL TRANSFER/REDESIGNATION AND AUGMENTATION OF OFFICERS IN THE NAVY. REF C IS BUPERSINST 1001.39F, ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR NAVY RESERVISTS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the ongoing limited duty officer (LDO) and chief warrant officer (CWO) sustainability initiative (OSI) which commenced in July 2010. The Chief of Naval Personnel has established off-ramp opportunities for specific LDO communities identified in reference (a). OSI off-ramps encourage LDOs in the Information Warfare Community (IWC) and Supply Corps to lateral transfer/re-designate into their restricted line (RL) and staff corps counterpart designators, establishing clear career progression and promotion opportunity congruent with the needs of the Navy. 2. Beginning in FY-17, there will be zero funded control grade (O4-O6) billets for LDOs in the IWC and Supply Corps. The desired end state is to create stable RL and staff corps communities with the accession of LDOs that transition to their RL and staff counterpart designators through off-ramps per paragraph 3 of this NAVADMIN. To provide maximum promotion opportunities for IWC and Supply LDOs, the following active and reserve component LDO designators are identified for off-ramp to corresponding RL/staff designators: FROM LDO DESIGNATOR (DES) TO RL/STAFF DES 6510 Supply LDO 3100 - Supply 6800 Oceanography (OCEANO) LDO 1800 OCEANO 6810 Information Warfare (IW) LDO 1810 IW 6820/6825 Information Professional (IP) LDO 1820/1825 IP 6830/6835 Intelligence (INTEL) LDO 1830/1835 INTEL 3. Off-ramps will be executed in one of two ways: a. Active component IWC and Supply lieutenant LDOs may voluntarily apply for redesignation via the semi-annual lateral transfer and redesignation board. LDOs with four to eight years of commissioned service (YCS) are best suited due to career timing considerations. All applicants must be within six months of completing a baccalaureate degree and meet all other eligibility requirements outlined in reference (b). b. Active Component IWC and Supply lieutenant commanders, commanders, and captain LDOs may voluntarily apply for redesignation without board action (WOBA) to their counterpart RL/staff designator, per reference (a). LDOs in this category are encouraged to take advantage of WOBA eligibility to maximize future promotion opportunity. Applicants for WOBA must meet eligibility requirements for lateral transfer outlined in reference (b), as well as any community specific requirements outlined in statutory promotion briefs, convening orders, and program authorizations. LDOs interested in WOBA should contact their respective officer community manager (listed in paragraph 6) for further information. 4. For the most up-to-date lateral transfer application process, visit the Enlisted Boards Branch (PERS-803) website at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/boards/administrative/transferredesignation/pages/default.aspx. 5. Reserve component IWC LDOs are encouraged to voluntarily apply for redesignation via the established change of designator process outlined in reference (c). LDOs with four to eight YCS are best suited due to career timing considerations. IWC reserve redesignation is continuous throughout the year and does not culminate in a specific board. Reserve applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree, meet eligibility requirements in reference (c), as well as any community specific requirements outlined in statutory promotion briefs, convening orders, and program authorizations. 6.
