Took me five tries to get in. If i can do it, anyone can.

Five tries?  *Puts on best Bane voice*

You merely adopted not making Chief.  I was born into it, molded by it, shaped by it.

That first year or two will be like a hurricane, a million things running around you and buffeting you to the point you will think you are going to drown.  Over time and with experience and a few "ah ha" moments, you will slowly settle into the eye of the hurricane, it will still be railing at full gale, but you will learn to sit and watch and pluck those critical items from the turmoil and become the Chief.

It would be ironic that when we least expect the results that they would drop today.

Don't.  I don't want to get my hopes up for today.  I'm thinking Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

You are reaffirming the reason intel peeps are not trusted.

If it helps, I still self-identify as an EW.

[Guest HawkISback]

As a former CTO that doesn't help your situation any.

I am indeed!  1734 EW Tech!  I like to brag that I joined the Navy as an EW, I reenlisted as an EW, but I never reenlisted as a CTT!

Jokes on you, I actually am behind on a PowerPoint!

[Guest HawkISback]

Trust me I learned the art of PowerPoint while at war. I'm not sure how we won ww2 without it.

Me too!! I joined in 2000 and went to EW A-School. On my current ship out of 17 CTT's only 3 of us are original EW's. We are a dying breed.

Your user name:  is the IS for, you know...IS?

[Guest HawkISback]

No, I'm a lowly IT. It was meant to show emphasis that I is back.

That's great!  I was lucky enough to start and finish my active duty time at Corry Station...first as a student, then as an instructor!  Nice to see a fellow EW on here.
