Im good now just taking a combat nap prior to results coming out just incase I get the call tomorrow. Trying to get as much rest now before sleep becomes a purple unicorn you only hear about in fairy tails lol.

I am so nervous right now. lol. I am also 6 hours behind the east coast on deployment as some of you already know. So tomorrow wake up and come to the office... the results to the triad will already be released. ugh. I will be sitting in my office doing my work literally on the edge of my seat. lol Didnt really have this issue last year. Good luck to all of the SBE's out there!

I'm not expecting to make it. We also have battalion Quarters so everyone will be out there when the list is read. I'd prefer the 1MC announcement over command quarters.

Yes if it's an N I would rather get it quietly.   I'm putting myself as if i didn't get selected mentally.  That way if I did not it's not as painful.

I'm off tomorrow and driving down to LAX tomorrow morning to drop off my girls, so I'm gonna be in the airport when I get the call tomorrow morning. 

[Guest BigFIshCA]

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?

Phase II is not meant to interfere with things already planned. My advice would be to have your husband, if he hasn't already to let his LCPO know about the exam ASAP. Per the MCPON's Guidance Phase II will not interfere with duties or previously planned appointments. Plus, I am sure the Navy and his command would rather him pass an exam than to fail a class and be on the hook for paying back $750.00 to TA.

His LCPO (and really the whole mess) knows about this final exam. He's been triple questioning them if he should have asked to move it to today.

I have been telling myself for weeks I havent made it. Yet this year I had the" what if i am selected" insomnia and reading the results are going to be released to the triad tomorrow.. i don't know what to expect. I have a plan either way, but after 17 years, it would be nice to have that "S"

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.

Funny, I was thinking about that when I was running this morning! LOL  I'm gonna go old school and say Celebration by Kool and the Gang!

Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer is on right now...how fitting. If i was going to pick a song it would have to be Ferrell's Happy (cheese factor of 10)

[Guest OS1/CCC]

On another note. I logged in to CMS-ID today to check on the status of my orders and it now says released. When I checked that, it was a few minutes before finding out about the triad release tomorrow??

[Guest Jackson2019]

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.

If you make it or not, who is the person you call and what will you do?

I call my wife first.

I will be calling my Wife either way first. If selected I would go with "This Cowboy's Hat" by Chris Ledoux, and if not "Let it go"
