Not sure if there are any "sports entertainment" fans in here, but my failure to make Chief has become known as "The Streak".  If I'm fortunate enough to get the S tomorrow, I will do my best Michael Cole impression and say "The streak....  Is over!"  I just need someone to react like Paul Heyman did and I'll be good to go lol!!

I got you, I'll be Paul heyman

I have a question.  Since the results are released to the triad tommorow.  Will the SBE get the results individualy on BOL?  Not a glutton for punishment but for some reason I rather see the S or N before I get told.  So if I don't make it I rather have my butt hurt moment over quickly so I can congratulate my brothers who did get the S.  

 

SBE will see the results in BOL exactly 24 hrs after Triad.

I guess so. Tomorrow gale force winds, and huge swells predicted sometime after lunch.

Going to try and stay as busy as I can tomorrow and hope I lose track of time. But I know I will be thinking about it every second that ticks slowly by.

I think this is the quiet before the giant F5 tornado comes and rips everything you have ever known from the foundation.

Good luck to all the SBE's.  Going to be quite a nerve wracking morning.

Here's a question. When wrestlers come to the ring and batters in baseball come to the mound they have their get motivated music (theme song) playing. If you get selected, what tune should be playing in the background? What is that one song that will bring the moment to a whole new level? I know it's kind of cheesy, just want people to think of something fun while awaiting the results.

8 mile.

I have to be up at 0400 EST to get ready and go in to work.  Going to be the longest 7 hours I've had to deal with in a while.

[Guest Blankslate]

I think right now "Final Countdown" Should be playing in the background

I'm actually in a strange pickle, as I am currently PCS'ing technically but I've already been TAD to my next command before going to school.  Would my last command be notified or my gaining command?

What UIC was on your answer sheet? That's where you'll be counted for advancement. 

[Guest AWFChief]

Good luck to all SBE tomorrow!!  I hope you all get your S, but if you don't keep pushing!  I know it will be hard to sleep tonight because it feels like the night before Christmas, but try to spend some time relaxing and get some rest!!!!

Best of luck

They mean a lot to your EVAL. The hard part is coming up with something original that the board hasn't seen before. Something catchy. Check your email on here. I have an EVAL writing guide from a Master Chief, but I don't want to put it up for public view since it has his name on it. Anyone else interested in seeing it, shoot me an email.

Thanks for the attachment! Much appreciated.

In this moment my kids have brought about a bit of calm in the storm. Here I am planning 13 contingencies for if he gets the S or if he gets the N and my kids are just sitting here watching Hotel Transylvania 2 for what seems like the 100th time as if nothing important to their world was going to be happening tomorrow. I think maybe I should take my cue from my (almost) 3 year old and just sit back as if nothing is going to make tomorrow any different from today.

has anyone heard a different time other than being released at 1100 EST tomorrow to triad? the folks here seem to think its later and they arent going to announce it until wednesday.... I have a feeling there is a line crossed and if they go that route, most people will already know before an all hands call wednesday later in the day

1100 EST triad came straight from the CNP's office so if your command is saying something different, they might want to go ahead and check tomorrow anyway. The Navadmin is scheduled to be released on Wednesday.

I've met guys who are dead set on them being selected--to the point where they say if their name isn't on the list that they would lose all faith in the Navy's process. I am curious what the ratio would be of people who are very confident to those who are not.

It upsets me when people are so confident and then they don't get selected and throw fits like little kids. I know that if I do or don't get selected its God's will and that I either need to get used to not having a lot of sleep or study for next year and keep pushing. I know some people are really good but no need for cockiness, those are the people to me that step over people to get to where they are vice helping people and having success that way

@Tony 's post looks pretty official to me.  Sounds like someone is messing with you

[Guest 4Sparks]

Long time lurker..finally decided to post. Good luck to all who are SBE. Hopefully we all get the "S" we deserve.
