Thanks @Tony!

Alright, lock in your predictions!

I personally like the way we play the release date guessing game on the thread, it creates more conversations

I was just curious as to seeing the data. I'm a nerd.  But, I want to caveat that I agree we should keep any discussion within this forum and not the poll thread.

I’m gonna go on a run and think about my choice in the poll! I am anxious for next week!

Liar! Bubbleheads don't run!

[Guest CursedSwabbie]

I could see 31st for triad then 1 Aug for release, however they would have to say something official tomorrow in my opinion!

Yeah, if possible, vote in the poll but keep the conversation in this thread please!

[Tony]

I bet the poll predicts the real deal 100%

Oops, can you re-post @TheKardiacKid?

[Guest Doc_K]

Does anyone have a min. and max number of MCs review their package before they submit? I felt like so many people reviewed it and then I had mixed decisions on what I should’ve and shouldn’t have submitted.

For some psychotic reason Wednesday (Triad) and Friday (Public) seem natural to me. Although my brain is operating as if there was significant internal damage right now.

I had two MCPOs this year, one of which sat the board the previous year. Each of them gave me pretty similar advice. I figured that was sufficient enough for me. Last year I had 5 or 6 CPOs look over my package and I got 5 or 6 significantly different answers/advice. Not saying they were bad CPOs, but I think if you get a really solid MCPO or two who you greatly trust, I don't think you can go wrong. Just my humble two cents.

Long time lurker but I signed up last year- just really quiet. I'm a spouse, so I don't have all the first hand knowledge, but I enjoy reading the thread and staying up to date- especially on the guesses on release date. 

It's my husband's 6th year up. He's underway right now so I get to be anxious for him while enjoying this insanely hot WA weather. I think if he doesn't get it this year, it's going to sting a bit more- we've pretty much been attributing his non-selection in past years to a PFA failure he had 6 years ago that was not long after knee surgery. With the understanding that they mostly only look back 5 years, this is the first time that that failure wouldn't show up in the time frame.  
 

Good luck to you all!

Pure coincidence but the OpTempo poll reach 100 (finally) so I have replaced it with the new AC E7 Triad release poll. I agree with @navyordie123 about keeping the discussion here so I posted a note in the poll thread to please post your comments here but feel free to vote there. I'll most likely delete any posts in the poll to keep this one active.

I has 2 Senior Chiefs(who both Master Chief) look at it this year... Before I felt I had too many people looking at it as well... After changing my package about 7 times I just said *insert swear word here* it!!

Don't forget to vote folks!!! All you people with your top secret sources!!

"The mother's daughter who dated the Admiral's mechanic's son!" - remember? The child's coach who watched Top Gun - Twice! Does that ring a bell? So vote today and feel free!!! (I'm prone to the melodramatic...) New poll is in the right sidebar!

 

[Guest Crypto1]

All this talk of "looking at your whole record" has me nervous.  My first 2 evals ('04 , '05). were not in my OMPF, and I was told numerous times to not worry about adding them to my LTB as they're not gonna look back that far... smh...

[Guest AME1]

So to go with the game of why I won't be on the list.

1. Transfer EP, 2013-2015 P's, transfer EP, welcome aboard P, and MP last eval.

2.  No collaterals.

3. No community involvement/ off duty education. 

Why I might make the cut.

1. Been in over 20 years (pitty party)

2. Heck frozen over.

3. Magic Pixies.

I had 2 MCPOs and 2 SCPOs (both have sat boards) from my command, my DH who has sat boards, and a MCPO from my rating that sat this years E9 board. 

[Guest STG1]

I had a couple chiefs look at what I was submitting, heard what they said and in the end submitted what I thought was relevant because in the end if I don’t make it I want to take full responsibility

[Guest STG1]

If the PPME and JPME are in an eval, does the board need to actually see the certificates?

Probably not but just to not be looked over I’ve always been told to submit them.
