The forum has been opened back up for registration.

I really hope people take heed of this post and others. Writing your evals is that important step in documenting your Sustained Superior Performance and the Precepts your guide on what you should be looking for. Please take a look at your evals for those cycles that you got an "N" and see what could have been done to improve them! So far the best tips have been of this first page: Precepts, EVALS. You could almost say Qualifications, communication... Fingers crossed in this round and thanks for the great post RMCS_1998.

I think Surf AT is talking about this -> Get the most from your Navy Career

I moved that last post to the FY17

If it's related to the FY16 Chief Selection Board, please post in the FY16 thread. This is for discussion of preparation, questions, etc. of the FY17 CPO Board.

Lol, now the selects are going to disappear into the twilight zone for a few weeks...

Great. thank you

Glad to hear that. I was relieved to see a few pages back that most H turn into an S fast (paperwork drill). Since the records were picked clean during the board I think that would be the case. Congratulations, that was a long one

I'm wondering if any of the guys and gals from Japan, Bahrain and the other side have any news...

For those applicable, don't forget to change your username (if needed) before things get hot

Love this post...

From Triad. Remember, they get the first 24 hrs. The status will be in your Bol at 11 AM tomorrow

True and I have seen that hint many time from those who struggled to figure it out and then make the S; precepts, precepts, precepts. I know many say it's vague but just become an expert at it in the way you mentioned - just do it for your self. Oh no, I see another poll coming "How many Sailors going up for Chief have read the precepts with a fine tooth comb?"

I hope those serious about going up for Chief see this. Go up there and read the whole thread - good stuff.

Excellent post

Congrats and thank you for your comment

What's the status amcreed?
