FY18 Chief Selection Board

[Guest Krats1411]

Just waiting!

 

Nothing good!

 

Watching the world burn and the lack of Intel is amazing! We can put warheads on foreheads but cannot give everyone heads up on release dates.

[Guest HM8432]

Same here regarding profile sheets only going back to 2015.

6 yrs 7 mos, but I'm coming off of a Command and ISIC SOY so my hopes are pretty high.

Are you SUB or Surface? Under 7 is crazy

[Guest ChiefDevilDoc]

Last year my buddy was a DC convert to HM FTS made it on his first time up. I was like what do you have in your record sheesh lol

[Guest wheelsforlife]

for those of you have that have been up for it multiple times, if you would take a guess, what do you think it is that's kept you from getting selected? evals? education? volunteer? low advancement?  

[Guest ITSME]

Long time listener.  First time caller.  Good luck everyone.

8th time up. 5 or 6 of those times there were 0 quotas.

4th time up!

[Guest SWSeabee]

5th time here, just celebrated my 12 year mark 4 days ago, 3rd time with a quota other than 0 (1 in 5 shot!). Mostly the low or non-existent advancement has kept me from making it, but I had a gap in my records (though I had a statement in lieu) from 6 years back that may have caused issues. We'll see this time, I'm coming off a high EP, SOQ, degree, MOVSM, leading 365, etc.

Okay, I'm back - reboot in T-5 minutes...

Not a clue, I'm awesome!

There are some that have not replied to the validation email. You might want to check your spam folder and whitelist NavyAdvancement.com. You need to reply to that email.

Surface. A lot of stars had to align right for my advancement up to first, advancement spiked everytime I went up. I worked my butt off though too (only EPs my entire career). although I'd be willing to wager any FCPO who took the time to sign up for an account on this page has also. 

Had a lot of excellent mentors who explained the wickets to me and made sure I was hitting them, and a lot of Sailors who wanted to work hard under me. It's very humbling for me to be here and this point, but at the same time I really do expect to pick up, and it's going to hurt if I don't. No offense to the long-timers in here, but none of us should feel good if we don't pick up haha.

I haven't said it yet, but good luck to everybody, this board has helped me kill of a lot of anxiety and pass some time when need be. Hope those results bring good news for everyone.

That's great.  Alot of my career was right place at the right time as well.  I ended up being a second class longer then I had hoped.   But ITS had a bottleneck at first class and I got cap'd at my 8 year point. I had alot of great mentors that gave me the "blue print" to make chief as a SUB guy.  I have all wickets and quals. I hope this is it as I am a terrible test taker and a big chance i wont make board next year.  Last year i missed it by 1.5.
