PINCH!!

selectee spouses, don't forget to make your grand entrance into the "Selectee Spousal Support" forum

- Checkin' on the needed upgrade required for the server - it's all good - Reminder, if you want to join the Selectee/ Chief private forum do so sooner rather than later - do not wait for the last minute. When it closes it closes (only because of time constraints and other issues) (and that is Chiefs too...)

reminder to get with dogg if you want to join the private Chief/ Selectee area

there is not a list until 24 hours later -------------------->>>> TRIAD notification

that was a tsunami - have never experience anything like that

there won't be a list to share

Ok folks... Don't start punching F5 First one notified please post within reason (I know the emotions will be flowing but other members will want to know) If the server croaks it's because of the memory... I'm ok with that for now

Oh great, Msduval2u passed out. I'd better head over to the first aid station and break out the new defibrillator just in case...

ok, maintenance done

I need to close the forum for a few for the last maintenance and reboot before tomorrow

well I do hope you day checkers do do something to get some sleep...

I created a quick php countdown function that displays on the frontpage -->> www.navyadvancement.com , I can't display it in the forum cuz' it's php code.

Not really, this has been the most intense wait yet. So far our count is over half a million views for this thread. This is attributed to the new server which is way more stable. This is also attributed to you all who have made this forum a success. Some may think "well the forum crash didn't make it look that stable." The bottom line though is that the server could not handle the visit load - it ran out of memory before the bandwidth even became an issue – a first here. Everything has shifted left. That is one reason I have had to turn off registration; not enough hours in the day to take care of other stuff and to deal with some of the more demented Sailors in our Navy who troll here. Basically it it is still waiting for the results but to Triad. Also the new server is like the Zumwalt – you still need someone to check the gauges and press the buttons. So less band aids yes, less hectic – not even.

and i only had like 30 seconds for my joke and had to leave

joking

It does, you're out of here

awesome!

absolutely welcome, it's a pleasure

Not me judging by the message New Chiefs Names to be Release Next Week Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs Office WASHINGTON - The names of active duty Sailors selected to advance to Chief Petty Officer by the Fiscal Year 2015 E-7 Selection Board are scheduled to be posted to commands' BUPERS Online (BOL) accounts Tuesday, Aug. 5, at 9 a.m. EDT, with public release via NAVADMIN 24 hours later on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Approximately 3,900 quotas were announced in June, with overall advancement opportunity of 24.09 percent for this cycle. This was a 2.59 percentage point drop from last cycle though still above 10-year average of 22.7%. The selection board is not required to fill all quotas; only the best and most fully qualified candidates will be selected for advancement. Because the Navy advances to vacancies, opportunities vary by rating. Advancement planners work to smooth overall opportunity across cycles. Thanks, <name removed>

Ok folks, since things will start moving fast Tues, here are some things to keep in the back of your head... There is a selectee spousal forum where you can meet others, ask questions or get help. KnockOutTrish has always been a tremendous asset in helping others over there. Hampton Roads has a spouse of selectee event scheduled and it is posted in the selectee spousal area. If anyone is aware of any other events please let me know or post in that area. There is a private selectee / Chief forum. To get access contact Dogg via PM. You must be a Chief or selectee. Selectee car washes or other events can be posted in the News and Scuttlebutt area. Further details are in the “Forum News and Updates”. It could give your event more exposure so take advantage of that. I wish all candidate good luck on Tuesday.

Yeah lol, someone gave instructions to reply to them in case of such ands such. I want to learn how to send out demanding emails too, they look important. He's still blacklisted though...

Actually, I don't need to let you know about your follow up requests. I have already posted that the answer is in the "Forum News & Updates". I have also repeatedly requested that people check that area before emailing me. Now you have instructions for me to follow so... Here's the plan to make things easier (on myself): 1) Take that silver spoon out of your mouth 2) Continue emailing me even though you are now blacklisted at the server level. I did a risk assessment - this simple plan should work We now return to our regularly scheduled programming
