In order to liven up the discussion while we wait, what is the first thing you will do when you get selected? For those out there that are already members of the brother/sisterhood what did you do? What were the emotions like?

The first thing you will do is get excited and get called to the Chief's mess.

when you think about a selection board you have to realize its mainly your record.  BOL, NSIPS, NDAWS is what should be perfect.  Evals should be the main focus with qualifications, and this should al

What do you guys think about the Navy giving the results to the commands the days before publishing them to the masses? I think its a good thing that leadership will have the ability to frame the news especially when someone doesn't advance.

I thinks that is how it should be. But then again! Some can careless to give the information in a timely manner. It might be pretty low in the priority list.

I look forward to being able to tell my guys first.

That's how it used to be where the results only came via your command (minus the hookups) and fast. 
 
They were never careless about releasing them late unless someone wanted to walk the plank forcing the sailor to swim to a deserted Isle in shark infested waters with the only hope of possibly finding a stashed treasure with a bottle of rum...

I'm gonna hold my head down and thank the most high for allowing me to join such an awesome brother and sisterhood. Then make a few phone calls of some very important people in my life. I'll save the partying for after the ceremony.

The wait was easier last year because I was in Afghanistan, but this year is already pure torture. I will have my PCS in July to distract me for the worst part though. Also, prayer is a must for me also. Then I think I will try to steal a nap lol.

Submitted my package today.  Went over it with a fine tooth comb and still noticed a formatting mistake within two seconds of clicking submit.  That's how it goes, I guess.  Good luck everyone!

I would definitely thank the man upstairs for allowing me to continue my career then, I would wait for my husband to call and let me know if he made it or not...

Finally submitted the ol' package yesterday.  Went over it probably a thousand times before finally clicking encrypt, then send.  I looked over the BUPERINST, MILPERSMAN, & NAVADMIN 288/13 to ensure all was done right, on top of talking to pretty much every Chief to Master Chief at my command.  I've done my part, time to sit back and let the process work.  Luckily I am in the middle of going through a 5 month school and about to PCS to San Diego, back to sea duty.  And I'm taking a college class, 5 shy from attaining my Bachelor's Degree.  Plenty of things to keep me busy until game time!  23Jun can not come soon enough.

Good luck all!

Good luck bud. It's about time!!

Emailed my package this morning...  Sent in my PME certificate, Engagement Control Officer Designation Letter, an eval extension letter, and Tactical Tomahawk Weapon System Engineering Certificate...  Hopefully this is my time, I've been up six times now.  Good luck to everyone waiting for that "S"!!

Yeah, this thread will pick up considerably when the board convenes and quotas are released.

 

I bet Tony is stocking up on "bandaids" for the servers and "refreshments" as we speak in preparation for late July when the F5ing gets out of control.

True statement lol

      Navy asking Congress for $5.7B in emergency submarine funding

      WASHINGTON — The Office of Management and Budget today delivered a request to Congress for approximately $5.7 billion in emergency funding to account for unexpected “shortfalls” in the Navy’s Virginia-class fast attack submarine program, according to a senior Navy official. The emergency funding request was accompanied by a separate “anomaly” that would permit the service to continue funding the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program in the event lawmakers pass a continuing resolution prior to when government funding is set to expire on Dec. 20. (Anomaly is the term the Defense Department uses when it seeks permission from Congress to spend money outside the traditional constraints of a continuing resolution.)

      U.S. Supporting Philippine Operations in South China Sea with Forward-Deployed Task Force

      The Pentagon has revealed the existence of a forward-deployed task force in the Philippines focused on supporting Manila’s maritime operations in the South China Sea. Task Force-Ayungin, composed of American service members and named after the Philippine designation for Second Thomas Shoal, was seen for the first time on Wednesday during Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s visit to U.S. and Philippine troops in Palawan. “The task force is comprised of U.S. forces providing our Philippines allies with enhanced cooperation and interoperability for their maritime operations,” reads a Monday statement from Pentagon spokesman Maj. Pete Nguyen provided to USNI News.

      Get Your Updated COVID-19 Shot With TRICARE

      FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The new 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is now available to TRICARE beneficiaries, at doctor’s offices and pharmacies. Getting vaccinated helps protect not just you, but also your family members and fellow community members. "The COVID-19 virus keeps changing. That's why we have a new vaccine to match the virus strains that are making people sick now," said Jeannine Pickrell, RN, Director of Population Health, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. "The benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks. Even if you do get COVID-19 after vaccination, you're much less likely to get seriously ill."
