I kinda' heard different. There can't be a lot of packages with SSP, otherwise there wouldn't be anything superior to choose. From what I've heard more than once, it's more of a vetting process o

Looking forward to seeing everyone excited about the S tomorrow. For those who get the N, keep your head up and get back on the grind. As one of my  great mentor always says, "Luck is for Suckers!". Hard work is the only thing that gets you where you need to be. Everybody get that good rest tonight because it could get crazy tomorrow.

Great quote.
I'll add on another that is really good to go by: "Hope is not a course of action!"

Does anyone else have another good quote to add?

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. All this waiting will soon be over. 

Remember no matter what the outcome tomorrow, remember at the end of the day regardless of if you are a first class, chief, or officer, our sailors still look up to us and it is our job to take care of them. Doing that is what got us to this point and continuing to do that will push us farther in our career.

Speaking of remembering our roots... I just happened to find my bootcamp "yearbook" today. I was instantly teleported through all of those times from then til now. Ahhh...the memories.

This is probably the hardest question to answer, and only each individual can answer it. There is no set guide lines or formula on what kind of Chief every Selectee will be, just know that you wont be able to answer it until a year or so afterwards, so don't be so hard on yourself. You will have an idea of what kind you want to be, but after some time you will know what kind of Chief you truly are. You are correct, it is more than rank or a pay raise, it is a mindset and a life style that can be hard to juggle at times. I say the hardest year is your second year, the first you are still trying to figure out your new role and how you may fit into the Mess, that second year is when you come into your own as a Chief and set the course on what kind of Chief you will be known as and the impact you will have - at this time there is no more WANT, it is the reality of what kind of Chief you have become.

First I want to say good luck to you all. If you're here on this forum, you care, about your Sailors, about your family, and about your career. BZ Shipmate.

Second, I could not have said it better than my brother @ETC(EXW/SW) said, however I'll add emphasis that the season for those that get the coveted "S" tomorrow will only be the beginning.  Your mindset will be a variety of emotions and that is OK. The season is a time proven process and it works.

And, yes, the Mess is watching.......... with just as much anticipation as all you very deserving Sailors who are looking for that prize (but I will caution you on that "prize", you will earn it!).

Good luck everyone!! Unfortunately for me we have a potluck tomorrow  and I've been cooking up a storm. Smoked a pork butt earlier today and just finished pulling it apart.. I still have to shower because I'm drenched in Hickory and Apple wood smoke plus still have to polish my boots and square away my uniform. If I get the S tomorrow I want to make sure i make an entrance.. A positive one for that matter!!! Nighty..Night folks!!! CS1 out!!!

I miss the days UIC results came out a day or two in advance and I could tell if I made it because I was usually the only one at my command. Here's a toast to everyone on leave or in PCS that will be anxiously awaiting, praying your commands remember to contact you!

      Navy asking Congress for $5.7B in emergency submarine funding

      WASHINGTON — The Office of Management and Budget today delivered a request to Congress for approximately $5.7 billion in emergency funding to account for unexpected “shortfalls” in the Navy’s Virginia-class fast attack submarine program, according to a senior Navy official. The emergency funding request was accompanied by a separate “anomaly” that would permit the service to continue funding the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program in the event lawmakers pass a continuing resolution prior to when government funding is set to expire on Dec. 20. (Anomaly is the term the Defense Department uses when it seeks permission from Congress to spend money outside the traditional constraints of a continuing resolution.)

      U.S. Supporting Philippine Operations in South China Sea with Forward-Deployed Task Force

      The Pentagon has revealed the existence of a forward-deployed task force in the Philippines focused on supporting Manila’s maritime operations in the South China Sea. Task Force-Ayungin, composed of American service members and named after the Philippine designation for Second Thomas Shoal, was seen for the first time on Wednesday during Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s visit to U.S. and Philippine troops in Palawan. “The task force is comprised of U.S. forces providing our Philippines allies with enhanced cooperation and interoperability for their maritime operations,” reads a Monday statement from Pentagon spokesman Maj. Pete Nguyen provided to USNI News.

      Get Your Updated COVID-19 Shot With TRICARE

      FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The new 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is now available to TRICARE beneficiaries, at doctor’s offices and pharmacies. Getting vaccinated helps protect not just you, but also your family members and fellow community members. "The COVID-19 virus keeps changing. That's why we have a new vaccine to match the virus strains that are making people sick now," said Jeannine Pickrell, RN, Director of Population Health, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. "The benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks. Even if you do get COVID-19 after vaccination, you're much less likely to get seriously ill."
