They try and set me up every year. This was just awkward because I am checking out and they were showing their frustration of not knowing why I haven't been selected yet. All I tell them is that we'll see when the results come out, but I am going onto my last command and will be retiring. But last year there were too many junior personnel picked up. Over 100 of them were first or second time up going by seniority list.  

Is there ATs there? What do they think, or they are unsure?

I know the feeling last year I took leave so I wouldn't be at the ceremony

Yes that was a tough ceremony.  Didn't want to be there.  My parents might not like the depressed version of me. Lol

[Guest Surf AT]

A couple of the AT1's are in the same boat as I am and the junior AT1's feel as though they are not ready but are anxiously awaiting results. As I ran the Tron shop last year all my guys were building me up thinking I was going to make it. Then seeing their disappointment when the results came out makes it hard. 

[Guest Surf AT]

I think seeing the disappointment of the chiefs and junior personnel when you don't pick up is harder than the disappointment you feel from not being on the list.

Just remember when we had to go through RCS RCC and the instructors like to give us our motivational speeches after they got done beating us for two-four hours of pt nonstop and then running the tank trails. You will be surprised what you can do when you don't make excuses about the pain, tiredness, and all around suck factor. I still remember them to this day and look back and say I made it through that I can make it through anything. Best part about it was we did it as a team. Miss my Rat Brotherhood.

Yeah I remember that discussion. I never agreed with just letting the non-selects roam around wondering. The whole "if you dont get a call, then you didn't make it" mentality is a terrible one.

And then there was those few commands where no one was notified at all. Mainly reserve but they had to wait for the public release. Was kinda' sad reading those stories. Don't know if it's still happening but it was mainly when this Triad method was new.

Got it, Tony.  Sorry about that.

Absolutely not an issue. I post articles from there if they are new and related but otherwise prefer that the articles I have are used. Just one of those quirky things to serve ads on this forum to keep it running.

Yes it was wish we could go back to the "TRUE" Riverines 

[Guest SeaBeeDoc]

 

I think the TRIAD finds out on 02AUG and NAVADMIN released on 04AUG.  We need to start a betting on proposed dates see who wins. 

I got a case of beer on the fridge and going to enjoy my weekend celebrating my birthday with the family and as for the proposed date I betting that the TRIAD hears on the 2nd and the NAVADMIN is released on the 3rd.

Just in case, there is a poll on the right sidebar. Those were the only two dates that were thrown out there.

This season is like X-files. The truth is out there.  I want to believe in the S!  Lol. 

[Guest Dondada]

Will be off 7 days of leave today at 2359. Hope everything turns out fine for everyone here. I SHALL report when I get the "S". Looking forward going thru the season with my brothers. 

[Guest BOATSNUGGYD]

Good night everyone enjoy ur weekend

[Tony]

Welcome to the buttload of people that registered. 

[Guest Admin_warrior]

Does anyone know what time of day the triad got notifications last year. 11 eastern? 

[Guest Dondada]

Tony I was a registered member years ago, don't know what happened to my previous account. Happy to be back again, and thanks for the good work. You have provided a forum for us to discuss our career among ourselves, I commend your effort.

Sometimes I have to remove old accounts that have not been active for awhile. Ironically tonight I just did that to some old accounts. This helps keep the database down. Thanks much for the compliment and welcome back!

Yeah. 11 Eastern. Obviously people start getting calls a little bit later because they have to brief the CO and whatnot

Thanks! Im in Hawaii so it will be 5 am here whenever triad release takes place

I'm pretty sure thats how its been the last couple years. I remember when I was in Hawaii I came into work at 5am and just sat there waiting. THAT was a long morning.

Im sure i will be on pens and needles that morning just wondering my fate!

[Guest brownshoe]

I'm not savoy enough on the multiple replies.

1. Season starts when your local Mess says it does.

2. Somebody already knows the results...... just not us (the Mess).

3. When you,  If you are the "S".....................START CALLING.

4. There is no document that say's Triad knows first then.........BOL>>>>>> public.

5. ^^^^ Is only current belief based on the past 3 years.

6. The results are going to be out when they're out (You're not as ready as you think you are.).

7. When you, IF you are the 'S'........................start calling (I cant use bad werds here, but senior...ship) I'll stop there.

8. I'm wishing you all well because if you're here, you care.

9. PLEASE start using CAPS for "Sailor" and "Chief". It's the little things that will fail you.

Ugh.  Last year like five people were board eligible besides me, so I got called in second last to be debriefed.  I thought I made it, then to find out nope.  That wassss tough.  Then we had to go to the pinning ceremony for the guy who did.  It honestly took me about the rest of the fall to get over. This year I'm anxious for the results but more guarded.  

Last command ONLY MADE 1 CPO.. out of 65 eligible .. needless to say the an E-9 made that place a dark cloud. When you don't give Sailors the nods they need then You don't get them promoted. 

Plus never told us we didn't make it... emailed it... sad
