Yes just wait till they want you there 3 times a week at 5am for PT on your dime, with the no cost orders to cover their arse.

Master Chief Mitchell puts out every year that Phase Two activities cannot interfere with the work lives of Reservists.  As for weekends, most NOSCs will work out availability with the selectees before the season kicks off. 

In some cases, Reservists might find a closer location to conduct Phase Two, or the NOSC might work out a schedule of every other weekend, etc.  From everything I've been told, Phase Two is designed to be a unique combination of challenging and fun.

Every Chief I've talked to said that as long as the selectees are upfront and honest about their abilities and availability during the season, the Mess will work to make you successful.

I'm sitting at 135 miles one way.

175 miles to my NOSC.  Luckily that's not my normal drill location, but I'm apprehensive about the seven-hour round trip should I be selected.

[Guest ISC(Sel)]

Hey fellow FCPOs. First time poster here. Just as anxious as you all on the release of results for Reserve/FTS. I'm a former Active Duty Reservist at almost 12 years. This is my third time up and hoping for the S.

It's good to see another IS1 here, as well!

In a vacuum sure. In reality not a chance. End of FY and most reservists have reached their limit for paid drills. We only get 48 paid drill periods. So the fix is they want you to put in no cost orders, to cover the liability, but you are out of pocket even on weekends. A bad dysfunctional system. The Navy should afford reservists the  same opportunity as the active counterpart and pay us for the process. 

I agree that it can be frustrating, and I've yet to meet anyone who hasn't incurred some personal cost during Phase Two.  I've also seen instances where sailors get Exceptional AT during the season.  If the financial burden is too high, communicate that to your Chiefs.  Personally I'd happily chip in to help a fellow sailor participate fully.

Yes my next closest NOSC is in a neighboring state. The hitch is whatever your NOSC of record is, is where they make you do the process.

I obviously can't speak for your NOSC, but my NOSC has let selectees attend Phase Two in Nashville, Millington, and Chattanooga.  Talk to your Chiefs and see what you can work out.  The worst they can do is tell you no.

[Guest ISC(Sel)]

I have been putting in filler AT dates at the end of the FY in case I am Selected. That way I can update the AT request to meet more Phase 2 requirements. If you are not selected this year, and have flexibility with your Reserve unit, I highly recommend doing the same.

Chattanooga... Heck yeah my home town.

I'm only an hour away!  I'm actually going to beg and plead to do Phase Two in Chattanooga should I be graced with the "S"

[Guest ISC(Sel)]

Is anyone aware if FLTMPS show results ahead of time, at least a summary of Selected vs Non?

[Guest ISC(Sel)]

Yeah that isn't happening in battalions. They want you doing AT for them. 

Dang, that sucks. Sorry to hear that! Hopefully things will work out in our favor due to the circumstances, either way.

OK so i have a question for the CPO's and admin types. I received my Combat Coxswain (CC - 0164 NEC) many years ago, I still have my letter of desigation from my former CO, but nothing was ever entered into OMPF or anywhere else. I have to send the letter in every year. Who should I work with at PER's or my command to get this entered into my record correctly, secondly where would that go, Quals? NSIPS, PSR? ETJ... there is too many systems with duplicate info. They really need to consolidate. 

Is it on your NSIPS/ESR/Member Data Summary?   If the NEC and training is showing on your MDS then that report gets submitted to your OMPF every time you reenlist, it's called record closeout.  Now if that was ever done that's another story.  If it isn't showing on your MDS submit the certificate through your PS's to PSD requesting they update your ESR. If record close out was not completed the last time you reenlisted than print out the 4 reports from your ESR (MDS, qual history, history of assignments, awards and honors), and send them to your PS to be esubmitted into your OMPF (reason: record closeout never completed).HMU if you have more questions.

Long time lurker. Finally official. I have been roughly the same thing that NVYPS said. That there is a forthcoming NAVADMIN about returning to sea duty for new Chiefs and that the results will not be out until that is released.

Funny thing about that is they are waiting to put FTS/Selres results til after that Navadmin when that navadmin will minimally affect us. 

[Guest ISC(Sel)]

Am I the only one who sits on http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/Documents/NAVADMINS/NAV2017/NAV17180.txt  and hits refresh every minute or two? No? Ok, good! 

[Guest BOATSNUGGYD]

So who all heard tomorrow for fts/selres to the triad.

I want to believe, but nobody's gotten the schedule yet.  I've been told it's always a three-day process:  Schedule, Triad, Navy-wide.

What was the source of the schedule last year? A post on social media, or a particular website. I don't recall.

I think it's a notification to the Mess.  Like a portent in the clouds, or the bones of those who never made it out of DRB.

Mass MOBing of all Selectees to ships incoming...

[Guest NavyPride34]

So I was in a meeting with my CMC (Taking notes for him)  and the other Department Senior Chiefs this morning and he asked for all of the Selection Board Eligible FCPOs names by COB today.  Just Sayin...

We closed out  CPO365 in May.. Can't believe. You guys still doing it..

We close out ours on Thursday.

[Guest Riverine Rat]

Funny how we as FCPO are told we need to communicate and do it well if we ever want to be Chiefs. But when it comes to the Navy putting out any information as to why FTS/Selres results are delayed or when AD results will come out we hear Crickets. Lol just saying the hypocrisy behind it all. No civilian will ever understand what mind tortures we go through.

[Guest Riverine Rat]

The emotional roller coasters we all endure is enough to give all of us PTSD by the time we get out

good thing I have a therapy dog and a service dog at home... 

I'm closing on a new house on the 9th and will get my Great Dane back. My parents are keeping him since the place I'm renting won't allow me to have him.

Good news is the US plays Jamaica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Wednesday.

Revenge game. Even if we don't have all our key players, like Pulisic, I'm hoping we win, and it'll be something to take my mind off of this cycle.

It's for the dinner list I'm sure. Basically, who would want fillet mignon with Hasselback potatoes & finely chopped chives, or prime roast beef with with Thyme Au Jus & mashed potatoes with Butternut Squash.
