What's worse is the "You'll definitely make it this time" comments.

Or "I can't believe you are not a Chief yet!"

[Guest PO14Life]

or the worst is when they talk about upcoming season, and they say "they are getting ready for y'all"

Right, especially those prone to the melodramatic with those lingering facial expressions.

"I can't believe you are not a Chief yet!!!"
ruf, bow wow!!

Hello shipmates. Been a few years since I made a post here. I'm pretty stoked about this upcoming season. 

Just wanted to make a comment for those saying there has to be a 24 hour heads up. When the Senior Chief results came out this year there was about a 2 hour heads up......unless I missed something. I was in the middle of PCS so there's that.

Yeah, this year hasn't been the norm! Or going the way it has been in the past. I think it had to do with the E9 board maybe.

[Guest NavyChic]

I think we all just want a peace of mind. Especially for FTS/SELRES.

If results for FTS/SELRES don't come out this week I think they will come out next week with us AD folks results.

This weekend will be the calm before the storm of next week.

Senior Chief is a totally different ballgame. It does not follow the typical Triad release.

Thanks bro.  Yeah it did suck.  I'm back on shore-duty now, so I get to catch-up on lost time with my family while the kids are out of school.  This is my twilight tour, so hopefully I got the nod this year.  When were you here?

VAW-115 2003-2006 and then again HSC-12 2012-2014

Is this a guess or do you have credible Intel?

Tired of Sailors and their "reliable sources" always being wrong.  Until something official comes out no one actually knows anything.

As has been the case, on this forum, in years past, this place is to share scuttlebutt. When people gather in a group in person, they share info. I doubt someone will tell them they are tired of them talking about whatever they heard. And we have gotten some good intel in the past. 

[Tony]

Otherwise, what do you recommend we talk about.

Well in that case, I heard from 2 reliable sources they will be out 02AUG17, FTS/SELRES/AD all together.

Just throwing it out there, the NEX already has a mannequin setup with a sign saying, "Congratulations Chief Selectees"

Is the mannequin's name "Timmy"?

The NEX folks seem to always know what's going on before anybody else.

LONG time lurker here... I finally took the plunge and made an account today.  I figured making this account might push me over the edge to that coveted "S".  I get my Big Navy fix from you guys.  You guys crack me up.  Thank you for keeping me (sane?) while we all wait for the results to come out.  Good luck to everyone eligible!

Tony can I post YouTube link?

You understand this page is Sailors just passing info... sometimes we get it right sometimes we don't, ultimately we are all here to share and standby with each other... we make the wait that much more fun then just waiting in suspense alone..
