THE TROLLING HAS BEGUN! I am sure if I was a CMC I would do things like this!

[Guest AGatSEA]

My Chief pulled me aside and whispered that the CMC put out to the CPO mess that results would be out the 5th. Take that for what it's worth.

After wrapping up my college finals, I'm beat and my brain is scrambled... I got CDO in four hours, I'll pass on what I hear, if anything. 

To all my Brothers and Sisters out there, let your hard work show for itself. Day in and day out, through your actions down to your Sailors! They're your reflection.

[Guest OS1/CCC]

THANKS!! I don't remember it being so quite at the command last year.  Or maybe I wasn't paying as much attention as I am this year.

I read all of the forums and was glad that I submitted it. I second guessed myself prior to putting one in and was actually approaching my Chief and Departmental Chief about possibly getting a special eval written instead of submitting all of my enclosures because while they will see that I haven't been on sea duty for 5 years, they would see that I came to a ship, became the LPO and took charge in leading a division of 20 personnel who were very successful while we were deployed.

This was the first year I submitted one as I've always followed the rule to only submit items not in your record. However, one of my mentors told me, "What's the worst that can happen? If they don't want to use it, they won't. But if it's something they like to use to assist them, then it's there." So, I submitted one in my package. It won't hurt and if it's wanted it's used.

Those Afghanistan tours were some of my best professional memories, the commands I worked for all played a huge role in the country.  Granted the place is not exactly top five travel destination, they aided terrorists that killed innocent people and anything I as a communicator can do to make them pay I am down.  I would go back tomorrow if I could, especially now that they are getting after ISIS there.  

Another dirt sailor in a sea going rate, I whole heartedly agree....I'd go back to Afghanistan any day - any time.  Four times to Afghan and one to Africa so far.  I also agree with your other posts many people believe that you are "dodging" sea duty by taking an IA or a challenging "EXW" style Type 2 Sea duty, even though in my opinion being on a ship is skate after doing a DDG tour prior to Expeditionary.  I had the opportunity to go recruiting for LS's at one of my special duty commands, went to every ship on the waterfront in San Diego and the LSCS/LSCM's...were all like "oh that's skate duty right?"  I do think with predominately sea going rates there is a bias against abnormal career paths and the lack of understanding of what really is involved by the majority of blue water folks.  Hopefully these communities can garner more recognition with participation of those leaders who have experience in these style duties volunteering to sit a selection board....really not many EXW/SCW/FMF qualified board members on the supply side I've seen looking over past membership.   

Second time SBE here...anxiously awaiting results like the rest of you.

Been hearing here and there some of the same grumblings. Some are Thursday, some Friday. I am just taking it all as a communal guess of No Later Than dates. Still thinking TRIAD Wednesday, public Thursday.

Lol I tried to hide it. It was hung in my box, and wouldn't let me remove on my phone. 

[Guest HawkISback]

I'm hoping we don't have to wait till Friday.  Even if that means not having the weekend off from "events". I have that luncheon on Friday and I'm not trying to loose my cool in it.

lol, I thought you did it intentionally to wake me up. Hilarious! 

By the way, what you described is part of the caching issue with this forum - no worries.
