I kinda' heard different. There can't be a lot of packages with SSP, otherwise there wouldn't be anything superior to choose. From what I've heard more than once, it's more of a vetting process o

If/when I put it on, though I have contemplated many times the kind of Chief I want to be, I will rely on all that I have learned and all that I WILL learn during the season to become the best leader that I can be. I find that one must malleable, despite preconceptions and past experiences, to fit the mold of what the Navy and our Sailors need. I'm no Joe Navy, but for me, Chief has always been more than a rank or a pay raise. I once had a Mess early in my career who brought me back from the brink of self destruction, true leaders that fixed broken Sailors and made us better people. If I could be one ounce the Chief that those guys were and make that difference in a Sailor's life or career - I can retire happy.

This is probably the hardest question to answer, and only each individual can answer it. There is no set guide lines or formula on what kind of Chief every Selectee will be, just know that you wont be able to answer it until a year or so afterwards, so don't be so hard on yourself. You will have an idea of what kind you want to be, but after some time you will know what kind of Chief you truly are. You are correct, it is more than rank or a pay raise, it is a mindset and a life style that can be hard to juggle at times. I say the hardest year is your second year, the first you are still trying to figure out your new role and how you may fit into the Mess, that second year is when you come into your own as a Chief and set the course on what kind of Chief you will be known as and the impact you will have - at this time there is no more WANT, it is the reality of what kind of Chief you have become.

I really hope that all of us that I see here year after year make it. It's always stressful even if we outwardly act like it's not; to our family and friends, so a to soften the N if it comes. Just take heart in knowing that we are the ones that are making a difference in our Navy. I know that those under our leadership here are succeeding and advancing. Those Sailors are becoming the SOY and JSOY, the SME's and the ones called to instructor duty because we take the time to let them know that they matter, and they can make it a better Navy for all of us. I always tell my Sailors when I teach them something or help them in some way they were not expecting to do just one thing. The always ask "What can I do for you?" The answer I always tell them is to just pass it on. Just teach or help someone else the way I helped you. When you do that you're helping me more then you know. It really does make the Navy stronger and the more people you help they in turn help someone else, just keep that going. If you get an S or an N this time don't worry either way, eventually it will come. Just know that it is not going to change you instantly, because we are who we are, and we do what we do for the small world/family that we are as a Navy.  Best of luck to everyone here!

I figured I would create an account since I have been stalking this forum for about a week now. To further add to the RUMINT, I have heard from several sources that Thursday is the day. This is my first time up and hit my 12 year mark in September. Let say I was part of the SCPOA for life club b/c of low numbers and an overmanned rate at the time. Here's to hoping that all the time put into our careers and others is paid off tomorrow. Good luck everyone and thanks Tony, this forum has been enjoyable to follow.

What's your rate?

Another day started and one closer to our finding out.  As stressful as tonight is going to be with trying to get sleep, just remember that our families are going to be there for us no matter what. I'm gonna try my best to relax and just focus on family tonight and wait to see if my world is going to change tomorrow or if I just move on and get ready for the next exam. Let's just hope that the list that @ET1EXWIWSW put out the other day comes true. Good luck to all.

BTW, is your countdown an hour off?  Right now it says noon EST that they will be released.  I thought it was gonna be 11.  I could be wrong though!

 

As for who I will call first, I will be asleep at home shifting to nights, and my wife will be home, but I will probably call my Father in Law, YNCS (SS) (Ret.). Then try to call some of the previous people who have helped me along the way.

The countdown is an hour off.

So the public countdown is also an hour too long then.

Oops forgot to fix the code on that but I think it is 8am. I never looked at that part!

Okay, fixed for 8am Friday too, can someone double check?

      Ex-US fighter pilot accused of training Chinese military will be extradited to the United States

      A former US Marine accused of training Chinese military pilots will be extradited to face charges in the United States, Australia’s Attorney General confirmed Monday, dealing a blow to supporters who have mounted a public campaign for his freedom. Daniel Duggan, a naturalized Australian, was arrested in the state of New South Wales in 2022 based on a 2017 US grand jury indictment that accuses him of training Chinese military pilots in violation of a US arms embargo.

      Second Navy jet nearly brought down by friendly fire in Red Sea

      The US nearly shot down a second Navy fighter jet over the Red Sea on Saturday — missing it by just 100 feet — in a friendly fire incident, Fox News reported Tuesday, citing military sources. Not one but two F/A-18 Super Hornets were flying above the US guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg during anti-Houthi missions in the region when the Navy launched a pair of surface-to-air missiles from the ship.
