One year, my notification went like this:
Phone rings, I answer it. It was my LCPO. "Hey ET1, do you know why I'm calling?"
Me: "Yeah, to tell me I didn't make Chief."
LCPO: "Oh, so you already know?"
Me: "No."
LCPO: "Then what makes you think that?"
Me: "Because if I made it, it would be the CMC on the phone instead of you."
LCPO: "Well, you're not wrong."
