(CNN)It's been 72 years since the USS Indianapolis went missing after a Japanese submarine torpedoed it in the final days of World War II. Friday, a team of civilian researchers led by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen discovered the cruiser's wreckage on the floor of the North Pacific Ocean, 18,000 feet below the surface, bringing closure to one of most tragic maritime disasters in US naval history. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/19/us/uss-indianapolis-wreckage-found/index.html

Has anyone scrubbed your records? Preferably a Chief that sat the board.

For Chief Selectees who were added, you should be able to see the private Selectee area from the front page of this forum (Hint: look for the skull.) Drop in and say "hello". Also, the FY19 Chief Selection Board thread is up and running! As the Selectees slowly enter the Twilight Zone... <echo, echo, echo>

Unfortunately, the SSP article is gone, it was a good one. I replaced it with the "Are you up for Chief?", thanks for the heads up.

Someone, I think a sister, posted a list, in this thread, of what was talked about as far as what they look for in the selection board process. Several of us agreed that it was a good list. Does anyone remember who posted it or where it is at? I want to added to our 2019 Chief's Board for their viewing.

So we now have the FY19 thread as @subguy10524 mentioned and there is also the private Selectee group for those who made it. If you are a Sel and want to join, please PM me you username, real name and rate so I can match it. Remember for those who did not make it, rest up, and when you start, organize, document and update. And everyday - improve, take on responsibilities, get those quals and certs, take care of your Sailors, and prove that you are worthy of being Chief.

I'll check things out when I get caught up.

You can't see it because I was an idiot savant. You should be able to see it now.

Oh, okay, wait a few...

@IS1(IW/SW/AW/EXW), I finally got yours, I'm catching up with other things in life so give me a few days to get things going. Selectees who request You can see private Selectee forum from the front page. -> http://forum.navyadvancement.com/forum/40-chief-select/

All righty then, I am in the process of starting a private Selectee area. Any Sel who wants to be added please PM me your name and rate and I can check it against the list.

You always still have the option of using your name on this forum any time you want but that's your decision not mine.

So everyone can check their BOL now?

I think it would be BOl, or that link @Navyspook provided. The database was already updated, they just need to change the "permissions", and that's part of the reason I also think about the time being wrong. It should have gone out 37 minutes ago.
