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!

On the a different topic an obviously putting the cart before the horse.... Has anyone else looked up how much one set of every CPO uniform is going to cost.... ( Wife was working and I was drinking with Navy Uniforms pulled up) At a miniumum, no rating badges, insignia, name tapes, yada yada yada..... $1228.40

NEX does 0% financing for 1 year (til that uniform allowance arrives 😉)

That's for the basic level, as well (DSCP, I think).

I wonder what level 2 (Flying Cross) and the premium (Brooks Brothers) cost.

Looks like a couple hundred bucks just for one set of Khakis. Wow. They must be making some serious profit on these uniform items. $75 for pants? $55 for the top? C'mon.

My guess is that the info comes from Millington, TN, so we are on their time. It's only 1:50am there right now. We have a while to wait until they even start pouring the coffee.

Only 2.9% of us think we are getting the word today anyway, according to the poll here.

Being in the future is rough, I feel ya. I think the results will be out in the middle of the night for us. If the Triad doesn’t feel like getting up in the night we won’t know till the next day. At this point I will feel like I’m letting down my chain and my junior Sailors if I don’t make it.

So my command had 24 FCPOs, 19 test takers, and 14 made board. I've heard from multiple sources that our CPO mess is expecting more than 50% selection from that pool (prior to board). These next few days are going to be stressful. Hoping for a late week release so I can attempt to enjoy some liberty. How is everyone else distracting themselves out of work?

Also, any insight in how they rebalance aviation commands after the season? My command will have a billet vacancy in November and no one is currently inbound via FLTMPS. I signed a 19 month extension that just got processed in May. There are two others eligible in my rate, 1 within 90 days of transfer, and another in his orders window. If we all get selected, what is the most likely balancing scenario?

Distractions are futile. I found the only way to not think about it is to be actually busy, but then it still manages to creep in. As far as manning goes just because FLTMPS doesn’t reflect doesn’t mean it’s not filled. Just no orders yet. If it’s truly gapped the AMO should be working with the detailers. As far as rebalancing IMO some of the newly selected would be retained onboard to not disrupt manning flow.

      Navy asking Congress for $5.7B in emergency submarine funding

      WASHINGTON — The Office of Management and Budget today delivered a request to Congress for approximately $5.7 billion in emergency funding to account for unexpected “shortfalls” in the Navy’s Virginia-class fast attack submarine program, according to a senior Navy official. The emergency funding request was accompanied by a separate “anomaly” that would permit the service to continue funding the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program in the event lawmakers pass a continuing resolution prior to when government funding is set to expire on Dec. 20. (Anomaly is the term the Defense Department uses when it seeks permission from Congress to spend money outside the traditional constraints of a continuing resolution.)

      U.S. Supporting Philippine Operations in South China Sea with Forward-Deployed Task Force

      The Pentagon has revealed the existence of a forward-deployed task force in the Philippines focused on supporting Manila’s maritime operations in the South China Sea. Task Force-Ayungin, composed of American service members and named after the Philippine designation for Second Thomas Shoal, was seen for the first time on Wednesday during Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s visit to U.S. and Philippine troops in Palawan. “The task force is comprised of U.S. forces providing our Philippines allies with enhanced cooperation and interoperability for their maritime operations,” reads a Monday statement from Pentagon spokesman Maj. Pete Nguyen provided to USNI News.

      Get Your Updated COVID-19 Shot With TRICARE

      FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The new 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is now available to TRICARE beneficiaries, at doctor’s offices and pharmacies. Getting vaccinated helps protect not just you, but also your family members and fellow community members. "The COVID-19 virus keeps changing. That's why we have a new vaccine to match the virus strains that are making people sick now," said Jeannine Pickrell, RN, Director of Population Health, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. "The benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks. Even if you do get COVID-19 after vaccination, you're much less likely to get seriously ill."
