they got a little upset at me at Starbucks when I didn't know their fancy "size" names that I can't remember right now.

lol, now I'm really going to go make a pot of coffee, er I mean café

DOH!! Darn fine-print!

It's Friday --- Msduval2u said she is buy a round of café for members this afternoon!!

Alrighty then, if you did not get the "registration welcome" email, try whitelisting navyadvancement.com

got a new batch of members joining. remember, check the guidelines - I spend 0 time debating or arguing about guidelines so the best bet is to check them out. Otherwise enjoy, have fun and gain knowledge.

Alrighty then, the CPO Selectee forum is now viewable to registered members only. You should be able to find it. There may be some config changes later.

but you all are still cheap!

hey, I'll drink to that!

yepper, it's pretty good food.

lol, you all are cheap...

Well, I cant' argue, I came to defend the Aviation Community and everyone flew the coop leaving me standing right on the catapult. I took a peek portside and lo and behold, they were all standing on vultures row waving at me with big smiles on their faces...

I think all the Airdales left

don't they refer to that as the shot across the bow?

ha ha real funny ha ha

all I can say is awesome...

Whoa, wait a minute,... that doesn't clash with Café La La La!!

Tests good on deck over...

I think he was an FC but can't swear to that

Yeah, I remember one Chief on this forum from a DDG who would answer all kinds of questions, even specific to career issues you would see on a carrier. One day he answered a tough one, can't remember what it was, related to carriers. Then at the bottom he posted something to the effect of: "So you all are wondering how I know the answer to all these questions huh?! Well we as Chief's are one and I can fire off an email half the way around the world to an expert and will get a reply back from a fellow Chief like that!." "Now go up on the flight deck and launch your butt off the catapult!!" I about spit out my coffee on that one... Wish he’d swing back by even though he is probably retired by now.

As a reminder to all, this forum is for learning; to help yourself and the people that work for you. There is a lot to gain knowledge-wise. With that said, it might be helpful for some to be a little more tactful in their posts, and for others to realize when they make a mistake since no one is infallible. Navy enlisted career management is complex, I don’t think anyone can argue with that, so one would expect it to be a lifetime learning process. Most everyone here has their niche area of expertise that they are willing to share on this forum so let’s take advantage of that and individually become more knowledgeable ourselves. I hope all of you or your significant other gets that S.

I'm not too worried about that. You don’t have to know everything; you just need to be able to look it up. If you can’t look it up, that might worry me.

Agree and I'd add that the shared knowledge in this thread is awesome - if you want to learn, this is the place...

a thanks to Denver_CTN in letting others know it is in BOL and aquiring the copy.
