Awesome thanks! Was trying to figure how a timeline for completing some quals prior to LTB.

When will packages need to be submitted? Not sure if that message even came out yet just was curious.

So this fully qualified piece I have a question with it. If you look at my LADR sure I'm behind curve because at 19 I should already be a chief and the quals I should have correspond with rank I cant obtain due to rank and platform. But I have seen people in my rate make chief with being in navy 12 years less than me only being on 1 ship and their FLTMPS does not show being more qualified or experienced. One person specifically I know and he's a great man whom I trained, but definitely not experienced at 6 years of service. Maybe I'm bitter because I have some curse or something on me from years past or maybe its my destiny to retire as a 1st (thankfully it was approved).
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.

You sound like one of the sad panda FCPO’s you were talking about and results haven’t even dropped yet. The very least you could do is show some faith in your own self sheesh.
Lol nope not a sad panda. Not fully qualified so not concerned with it. Last year was a N select and walked around with a smile on my face. I'm genuinely wishing everyone good luck hope they all make it and I will be spending my time catching up on family time.

Good luck everyone! On leave for 2.5 weeks, all you chief selectees doing selection and all that have fun. Me and my N-select self will be drinking beers on the pier.

I made Chief first time up and during our INDOC the late CMDCM Snaza asked “who here made Chief their first time up?”. A bunch of us proudly raised our hands and were met with “so you have no idea what it feels like to not make Chief”. It really resonated with me and helped me get through getting the N for Senior the first 2 times. It hurt especially having great evals, ranked at the ISIC level, and 25% advancement to E8. There isn’t any right answer to this but for me I found solace in congratulating those who made it. Being proud for and with my shipmates knowing, while the extra pay would be amazing, I didn’t need a star to lead, train and develop Chiefs, Sailors and Officers.
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.

I’ve been having anxiety since qoutas came out. It’s like a helicopter hovering above my head. I just need to know yay or nah. Then move on. Ready to retire. Got 4 yrs and change left.
I feel that. I got over 2 years left till I hit my 18 year mark then I'm submitting my intent to retire paperwork. If I dont make it at that time, then they can keep it.

@ChristianSubmarine, I haven't heard anything. That would be great though.
I agree. Got some FCPOs in office who are anxiety ridden about this. I got leave coming up and transferring soon, that's my concern lol

Anyone else hear of results coming out this week? Just a rumor mill that's spinning.

Since quotas been out any rumors about results coming out before the 6th of September
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.

Here for any ITC package reviews, or CWO interested applicants!
Can you talk about what the common attributes you saw that CWO selectees had? I read the PPTS on MyNavyHr and the discrete requirements. Was looking for outside the board point of the view.

FY 24 CPO (E7) Selection Board
in Chief Selection Board Forum | Results, Preparation, Records
Posted
Still need to submit LTB for award and eval. More excited about planning my retirement in a few years than doing stuff for a board that I won't make rank. To much politics and high school drama in the mess.
