    Yes, even as the posts were flying here on the forum it happened, twice I think (maybe 3?). First a rumor then confirmed - true to life as a few admin hookups we had were telling me to stand by for high winds and heavy seas. I don't remember the particulars because when the wait starts I'm usually behind the scenes with the server. One particular funny one (after the fact). You know how a new page starts after so many posts on this forum right? Well someone posed a hypothetical question about the breach, someone replied and it was at the top of a new page. A chief saw only the response and started blasting everybody including the Duke of Edinburgh about the prior cycle breach and how this forum was going to put a stop to the release. I simply told him to read the prior post.

    Very bad. They would investigate and careers put on line. There would be a delay. So bad it make some older members of this forum cringe from past discussion.

    Don't be shy folks. Join the forum and join in the conversation. Spouses, vets & family are welcome too.

    Public release is always 24 hrs later from the Triad release. Everyone is choosing the 3rd as the Triad date. The public release would come out on the 4th. This gives Triad, CO, XO, CMC, time to do their leadership thingy.

    Yeah, I don't see where anyone can agree with that either. Simply tell the Sailor what you plan to do, don't be sneaky about it - just a bad command. Yes, there is a caching issue. What you can also do (I do too) is to refresh the page. Sometimes you have to do it twice. It will then show the proper state (logged in). Thanks much for the heads up.

    By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Josiah Pearce, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Public Affairs NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- Thirty Sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) received advancement through the Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) during a surprise frocking ceremony July 8, in the ship's aft galley. The MAP program is offered to Sailors as a way to recognize superior performance while working in a rigorous operating environment. The command promotions resulted in three new petty officers 1st class, eight new petty officers 2nd class and 19 new petty officers 3rd class. Engineman 1st Class Janceley Acosta Lucena was surprised and excited about her new role as a petty officer 1st class. "I love what I do; I love my job, and I really want to do 20 years in the Navy," said Lucena, who credits her success to the Sailors she leads. "I'm overjoyed; it's a dream come true." The promotions these Sailors received will put them in positions of increased authority and responsibility. Chosen by their chain of command, the surprise advancement is a direct result of their proven hard work and dedication to the Navy. Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Brittnie Huskey, now a petty officer 1st class as well, attributed her success to her dedication to become not only a better Sailor, but also a better person. "It's important to stay focused and do what you have to do," said Huskey. "Don't just get the qualifications you need, but go above and beyond. It will make you stand out." Lincoln is undergoing a refueling and complex overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries. Once RCOH is complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically advanced Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the fleet and will continue to be a vital part of the nation's defense.

    Okay folks, the countdown has a 13 to 21 window before the Triad release. If you want to vote simply post “vote (selected date)”, I will then update the countdown. Extra dates will be listed below the countdown until there is a 2 vote count where it will then be listed in the top three as appropriate. So don't feel compelled to choose only a date that is there. Also, if you are lurking, feel free to join the forum and share in the festivities. Family is always welcome too. (we do have a couple of moms as members.)

    Yes, it would not be the first time I have had to walk the plank, make it to a deserted Isle, and be able to survive by finding a secret stash.

  18. Tony
    PEANUTS, POPCORN!! COME AND GET IT!!!!! @343SBE voted for Jul 27 and the countdown has been duly noted!!
  19. Tony
    For those that haven't voted, you can cast your vote on which day you think the Triad release date will fall on. Simply post "vote (date)" and I'll add. There is a cutoff date, not sure when. http://www.navyadvancement.com/navy-advancement/countdown.php

    The FAQ would have to be a separate entity since it would eventually make the page too large. I did an FAQ (even purchased a data driven software) and it was abandoned - didn't work too well. I think posting is the best option anyways as it generates discussion and responses such as your excellent reply. The cheat sheet is a "to do" & "required reading" so maybe we could add it to the "to do" something like "complete your PARFQ"? (Or give me the best worded statement.) The To Do is now permanently located on the Chiefs Selection Board Preparation page, to the left labeled "Making Chief: To Do & Required Reading"

    good to go, the countdown has been updated. The countdown is for the date only but you can throw in the hour too if you are feeling salty enough.

    Okay, we are good to go then, thanks.
