Thanks for sneaking me back in Tony.  Great to be back.

Jumped back into the mix to tell all the Selects - "Congrats".  Enjoy the moment and have fun.

If this wasn't your year, I have good news:  The board will convene again next year!

Congrats again!

 

 

Glad to see you swing by. 

[Guest cscs(ret)2010]

Thanks for allowing access Tony. I follow this forum every year but decided its time to sign up.  

To all that were selected; Congrats!  Those that did not; never give up. Keep charging and continue to take care of your Sailors. Your time will come.

Well my husband didn't make it. It was his first time up but his package was strong. Apparently what held him back was being 1 of 1 at his current duty station. 

Heres to busting his chops studying for the next time.

Congrats to all those who made it and good luck on your new journey as chief.

[Guest SouthernSailor]

Same here... BMC(Sel) it is!! Man, it's going to be an interesting season as a Reservist...

ITC(SEL).  Thanks everyone for hanging with me on here.  If I can be selected anyone can, hang tough and keep fighting!

Congrats brother! Right on! I sent you a PM.

[Guest HawkISback]

I'm not saying my path was right, or wrong for that matter.  Now that the board members list is out, engage them.  Even if you have been up numerous times and your record is gtg.  I reached out to 3 of the ITCMs last year, only one responded but she did take the time to review and make recommendations.  If you like to read and you are junior to this forum read The Chief Petty Officer Guidebook, pay close attention to the wheel of success. It MIGHT be just what you need for the sprinkles on you package.

I got it, it's on my kindle. My husband has access to it also. So I'll be easy for him to get to it. Thank you!

@HawkISback,

I've known you on this forum for a very, very long time and have seen you move up in rank over the years. In between making rank and getting kicked off this forum here and there  , I've seen the knowledge and experience you've gained and then shared with others – I saw that transformation that was leading to Chief.

I am very happy you made Chief, and I had to go get my daughter to tell her the good news that you had made it. Whatever you do, please continue helping others and whatever happens don't change. Just continue being yourself because you were already Chief's material.

[Tony]

And congratulations to everyone who made it! Milk & cookies or beer & pretzels on the house.

It's good to see that kind of recognition on here, Tony.  Thank you for what you do and for allowing us to come here and bond and learn and grow.  Honestly, I didn't think I stood a chance even with the high numbers.  I was an AE on AD and now I'm struggling trying to be a good BM even though I know very little about it.  It has been a humbling experience but a good one.  Thank you to everyone on this forum.  If anyone needs anything, please do not hesitate to reach out....

That's the truth there!

[Guest SEABEE(NMT)]

Just wanted to say congratulations to all that were selected. I was one of the few to get the "S" and it still don't feel real.  Thank you all for everything I know for a fact that this forum has helped so many Sailors.

@Tony  I owe you for that penalty box day, I'm telling everyone I know to F5.  Lol.
