  1. In the past, there have been several "Lone Wolf" predictions regarding the release date that turned out to be true.
  2. Here's some forum news folks: ~ The countdown vote will end at noon today -> http://www.navyadvancement.com/navy-advancement/countdown.php. ~ While logged into the forum you can get PM & post pop up notifications on your screen. You won't have to hit refresh as often. Directions here. -> ~ If anyone has any input for the "To Do" & "Required Reading" list please shoot a note my way. For example should "CPO 365 PQS" be added to the To Do? -> http://www.navyadvancement.com/docs/to-do-required-reading.pdf ~ You are welcome to join the crowd if you wish by registering an account and joining in the fun.
  3. Talk about a role model. And that would have been so great to hear the whole story from him.
  4. I included his Wiki link in the forum history category.
  5. John William Finn - (23 July 1909 – 27 May 2010) was a sailor in the United States Navy who, as a chief petty officer, received the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II.
  6. Forgot to mention, countdown ends tomorrow noon... -> http://www.navyadvancement.com/navy-advancement/countdown.php
  7. Yes sir. The only problem is the forum software which will not take the beating. But that is something to fix down the road. The first aid station has been replenished and is good to go. This year I bought 'ordie' band-aids just in case, due to the high ordie member count. They have little bombs on them. The HM band-aids still have teddy bears...
  8. Okay folks, join up before it gets busy...
  9. Well, the Senior Chief that I admired the most lead by getting to know us. That's what reminded me - when I read your post.
  10. Yes! Getting to know your Sailors overall and taking care of them is great for the Navy, your shop or office and your career in the Navy. How many supervisors get to know their junior Sailors only when they get in trouble? I think it's fantastic on your part, because it seems genuine, and the added benefit is that it is great for your career.
  11. Honestly, that is a statement of your own career's success - in a genuine way too.
  12. To Recieve PM Notifications - On your profile, upper right, click on your name to bring up the dropdown. - Select "Account Settings" - On the lower right, "Other Settings", click on "Notification Settings". - Under "Notification preferences", check the "Show popup window when I receive a new personal message" box. While there, under "Method to use for content I follow automatically", you can select "A notification when new content is posted". This will notify you when someone has posted without having to refresh.
  13. Me too. At the beginning I had to put admin (me) under the bad word filter too just to remind myself.
  14. This is for the public in general though. I've had a few situations so I figured I'd post again.
  15. I'll explain the cuss word guidelines as best I can. I've already mentioned about how family members visit this forum to see if they can get any information on their loved ones that they cannot communicate with for various legitimate reasons. When someone makes a post with a word that is filtered such as S#!t, someone uninitiated will feel compelled to spell out the complete word in their posts. That is not all. True to form, talk will (and has) degenerate to a very low form because people for some reason think they can do that on this forum - they cannot. The worst one on this forum? Discussion of sex in s#!t. So your post may seem innocent enough but for others, innocent is in the eye of the beholder. And the guidelines also mention not to respond to a post that has broken the guidelines for the very reason of not allowing it to degenerate any further.
  16. in the days of yore, an admin type would post on this forum when the board adjourned. Since the method changed to the Triad release, there has been less importance placed on that event. For my part, I'd still like to know.
  17. If there is a hint of discrepancy, they will investigate thoroughly. And I don't know why anyone at the pinnacle of their career would jeopardize their position by breaking the oath or honor code.
  18. That's the word I kept trying to think of the "Honor" portion, darn it!
  19. Right. And if I remember correctly two incidents involved board members. Again though, can't hold me to it because that's when I'm busy with the server/ forum stuff.
