I was sending him my daily 0530 text barrage about the results, and he said:  "Why don't you ask your friends at navyadvancement.com?"  I thought he maybe just knew about the site, until he starting quoting my posts!

Just got confirmation from Reserve Forces MC Mitchell at CNRFC saying...."It's currently on CNP's desk for signature. They are hopeful for tomorrow or most likely next week."

 

Thats all I know.

I'm pretty sure that if I make it, all my other Chiefs will come out of retirement!

Omg I can't this is the funniest thing I've heard all week ..

[Guest SeaBeeDoc]

Evidently there were some administrative errors with the FTS board, at least this is the latest intel I received from one of the Chiefs here, thus the reason for the wait.

It's good to take some time before results come out but use the majority of the time to spend with your family. The season is designed and tailored to get you where you need to be. I'm not saying don't do it but don't make it a priority these next 2 weeks. Best of luck to everyone.

Great advice, none of us would get this far without the support at home, make sure you thank them and spend the time with them to show just how much you appreciate everything they sacrifice for a career in the Navy. They are your number one fan and can make the process a little less stressful if they know they are not forgotten when the season starts.

[Guest HawkISback]

I wonder if both the results are there? I wonder how long it takes to scrub the AD results?  

[Guest ¡Viva!]

Ok, got the notification that evals are due Aug 1st to SEA.  I have a question that I could not figure out.  How do you determine if the closing and opening statements are centered?  I tried centering them in Word, but when I pasted them back, it kept on going back to align left.

[Guest ETC(EXW/SW)]

I have never worried about centering opening and closings, especially if they are more than one line. It can be a waste of space and doesn't mean much except the style of writing your chain of command may want, that being said the only way I can think of is using tab and space bar to center it manually.

CNP comes back Thursday so most likely next week 

[Guest OS1(SW/EXW)]

ETC is pretty much correct, but if you have a lot to put in the body, it can rob you of geography on the page that you might need elsewhere

what a bunch of horse crap does my butt stink or what?!? Holy mother of pearl, wait and pause as I go take a shower - will be right back (curtsy exit left), i feel like this a complete failure on their part

 

Remember the old navy saying.... "hurry up and wait".  The line starts on the left, keep telling my Sailors that the Navy is bring back more tradition, so get in line and don't lean on the bulkheads! 

[Guest NavyPride34]

So my Senior Chief told me that the Chief's Mess is expecting the Active Duty results next week and my DIVO told me that another Officer friend of hers said that the Triad should have the results on Thursday 27JUL.  We shall see...

I also just heard from my Senior Chief that the FTS results are coming out the same time as the AD results, which is actually ok with me because I really don't want to be starting my season any earlier than the rest in my command. That happen to one of the reserve students last year and I hear she was miserable because all the focus was on her for an entire month while awaiting the AD results.
