Posted by Tony,

Something I do want to mention. In years past, scuttlebutt was always welcome. Someone would come on, post their rumor and it would either be discussed or laid to rest as untrue. That is how I like this forum to run. Just like you are talking with your shipmates about the latest rumors, it's just discussed. Lately on this forum, when someone brings some scuttlebutt, another member will act like you are not supposed to post scuttlebutt by either putting them down or Pming them or whatever. T

I'm in Japan now. My captain just called me in the middle of the night and said there is no reason to call you unless you made chief. I got the S.

I got the S! After 5 tries, I finally made the cut. Thanks to everyone here who has shared conversations, support, and advice.

I think I'd better set up the first aid station early this year!

It may be more of an issue of my server being at capacity. No worries...

Well, I'm definitely confused. I thought the old-timers knew this and that it was the younger ones who fell for it. This has been brought up for many years on this forum. There is actually an office in NPC that releases the results of which has been mentioned eons ago.  And as I said, eons ago, I got in an argument with said office. I don't think things have changed that  much as far as who would be in the know and whatnot.

I think that the old timers know that we are awaiting the message to come out. Think everyone is just getting in the mood of the season and continuing conversations. Just having fun with it

So true! When I got back to the fleet I was told I needed to remember my place as a first class and stop being so “friendly” to junior sailors. I asked how treating junior sailors like grown adults and showing respect for their input on subject was a bad thing. Back at the “Ron” we could talked from the CO down to the most junior sailor as a person and turn Navy if the right people came around but always showing respect to seniors and subordinate alike. I never felt disrespected by my fellow brothers in arms even when we had issues to address and “BIGBOY RULES” went in effect. Still remember MasterChief Lee giving me that speech and he expected us to solve our problems like grown men and unless he needed to get involved he left it to us as First Class Petty Officers since we ran the Detatchments.

I miss Lees and Hebert...CMC H was down this way last year on a tour, good seeing him!

It’s great to wake up to all these discussions. I had one of my Chiefs bring it up in Quarters that the Chiefs will be busy starting next week and that I might be too*facepalm* No added pressure, right? And two other Chiefs bring up, you know what next week is right? If I couldn’t stop thinking about it before. Even better the comments to enjoy your family time because you never know. 😑
