The forum hit 100 pages so the let us know when the results will be out.  No more rumor mills about the when.  It'll pick back up on Thursday.

I'm just trying to figure how they will notify me... I will be on an international flight at the time. My phone won't work when I get to the states. I guess I will just have to wait to read it on here :/

You won't be the first one.

Well guys talk to you tomorrow, we are on internet hours on the mighty IKE. Try to get some sleep tonight and spend time with the family if you are able to, you never know if it will be the last time for the next 6 weeks

[Guest BOATSNUGGYD]

Tomorrow is Xmas eve. I hope the Santa chief brings us all good news!!!!!!!

[Guest Navywife]

I definitely was never this anxious for results when I was in.

So, if selected who calls me? I just checked out of one command and planned on checking into the new command Friday. Both commands say if selected I will be doing initiation with them. Also both commands are literally across the street from each other. Oh, and my orders stated check out in August from old command check into new command in September.

Your COC will call you to let you know, it will be the UIC on your profile sheet, they should get your name

Anyone else in here reviewing their evals and LTB's?? I find myself still looking to see how much of a chance I have....

You've already done the homework and turned it in! There is no reason to nitpick your package now. Just enjoy the last (possible) non-stressful evenings you have. Throw on some netflix and rest up.

I wish I could but I am out to sea!!! So I am just floating in the water counting down the hours until "the moment" arrives!!!

Internet hours? What the?

[Guest JVARGAS]

Best of luck to everyone! I have the same feelings and hope for the best. I took a look at my "love me binder" yesterday and went through my evals and package. I know its late but it's just one of those things where Im asking myself if I've done everything on my part to get the S! Alot of my mentors are rooting for me which is great and encouraging but I wish they would just leave it alone only because I don't want to hear the aftermath if I don't get selected. Oh and on another note; I really dislike the people that talk about how waiting and how being anxious about the results is dumb. I don't know about them but as a 3rd, 2nd, and now 1st we were always anxious to find out if we made the next rank so why is going up for Chief any different???

I agree that it shouldn't be different along with the disappointment of you didn't make it. Last year someone said I was devastated when I was just looking to a few people to see what I needed to do to get the S.

Just Curious, now that we know when the results are out, if selected what will you bring to your Chief's Mess?

Honestly I don't know yet, never thought about it. If anything we will learn how can we contribute to the mess

An open mind. A memory of where I came from, and an idea of what I want to attempt to be like. Someone who is trusted and able to take care of my guys. If your guys aren't happy, they won't want to work for you.  I understand mission first, but if you don't take care of the people, the people won't take care of you.

 I would first and foremost tell my wife that after the 6 week ordeal I would take her out to dinner and celebrate for all the sacrifices she makes which support our career.  I would then bring loyalty and teamwork to the mess. I would look for guidance from my brothers and sisters like I do as a First Class and ask questions to help me get through whatever obstacles are put in front of me.

My balance, I have always prided myself on being able to take care of my sailors and get the mission done. I have been known to be called a unicorn. I know what I need to improve on; my appearance I'm constantly exhausted so it tends to affect my appearance.
