It seems to be more rate specific IMO than anything else. I've seen guys fully qualified but not best qualified make it. I'm behind the curve when it comes to shipboard qualifications but not shore duty qualifications. I do not have a degree but have PME and JPME Level 1 completed called out in the letters. I have nothing to do with FCPOA, but have served has LPO, acting LCPO, etc, and have good evals regardless of no collateral/FCPOA involvement. Its what they need I guess. Congrats on your retirement approval and good luck Tuesday.

For those who get the N, myself more than likely included, it is important how you conduct yourself in front your guys when it comes to failure. Get the N, do the job, care for your guys, love your family, and realize in the grand scheme it's not that important compared to your health, faith, family, and your men. How can we teach our sailors about recovering from failure and disappointment if we act like we just got a death sentence? They pick up on that real quick! Be a man, wear those PO1 crows with pride, and lead your men. Anything less is unacceptable.

They'll be out when they're out IMHO. Some of us will cry, others be happy, or just not care. Be the best 1st you can be, care for your guys, always make copies of everything, and life goes on. I have a few years till retirement. At this point if I make it awesome, if I dont awesome. Still gonna collect a pension by God's good grace.
