FY19 Chief Selection Board

[Guest Pebz]

Ahhh hell... I got my hopes up for UIC results for a sec. my first few promotions I found out ahead of time back in the day when it was normal for UIC to come out before results. I just don’t think many people knew or followed it back then (10 years ago). I had a great Chief that clued me in, in those early years.

No

okay, it's probably showing last years and the update is reflective of the UIC.

[Guest TM1/SS]

Funny for whomever said they called it.... @Tony, I do believe I was the first one to put out this Tuesday coming. Where's my crown? I'm the king of gouge! Lol. Been drinking for the hopefully the last night for six weeks. Have a good weekend y'all.

I remember when I was going to Afghanistan in 2012 I was able to let a guy find out he made it when BOL used to update with Triad.  Being IA the command group we were with didn't have that access.

- Alrighty then, I was hoping that this would be a non-eventful day but it was not. However, the issue with the server is about done.

- As a reminder, @KnockoutTrish is available to help spouses and she has the knowledge and experience.

- An individual, who claims he is a Chief, came on this forum and tried to cause problems for reasons unknown. It probably would have taken longer to get the connection if it wasn't for the strange name of the city that his IP is connected to. I've saved his info in case he tries something for the third time. 

- Someone came on this forum and was insistent that the results were going to fall on a certain date. When it appeared that it was changing, that individual edited his posts to reflect the change. 

Folks, don't come on the forum and insist that you are the one in the know. When I get some good gouge, I do a little vetting - one post from a newbie is not going to make me change what I put out. Just remember that all scuttlebutt is welcome but leave a little room for error; don't be so gosh darn insistent. Otherwise, we have done very good in the past with the dates.

- We are looking at the 7th, 8th, timeframe for results. Thanks to TM1/SS for the early heads up, I think the 27th of Jul.

Thank you @Tony for what you do!  Seems like maintaining this site alone is a full time job.  Much appreciated.

I insist the results are NOT coming out before Monday, August 6th....

[Guest Cryptic]

Oh wow, this forum runs much smoother when there's only ~100 viewers lurking instead of ~300. Enjoy it while it lasts...

That’s so true! Don’t know what we would do without Tony! This forum has been such a great place to share, vent, and seek knowledge. No matter the results I will always be grateful for this forum.

Not that I have any anticipation of getting the “S” next week, but just in case some craziness happens I am taking the family on a little day trip tomorrow. 

I just wanted to throw a thank you out to everyone that has posted with guidance and advice on here. There are definitely a lot of knowledgeable Sailors in here and hope you all get that “S” you deserve!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend and best of luck with results on Tuesday!

Something new to kill some time until results pop...

I just started reading "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" last night and I got hooked in the first few pages. Its a quick and easy read that I think would benefit anyone leading or even just working with a team.

Do you have any leadership / management / team building / Navy books that you would recommend? 

[Guest subguy10524]

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I as well am trying to relax this weekend. I am currently on duty so down on the boat.  I should get off at a reasonable hour tomorrow. Today was a work day for the division also.  As much as I wish I could make weekends sacred, there is just too much work to do to only do a 5 day work week.  Such is the life of a submarine electrician. 

I am hoping to S this week, and hope everyone on here gets that S as well. I have been enjoying the advice and scuttlebutt throughout the year. I have been in this thread since the beginning and been working all year on improving my leadership style and focusing on my sailors. Learning about the board scoring as I can from as well as the other aspects and advice from other communities on what to include on evals and packages!

I haven't read it myself yet, but I have heard Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet is a good leadership book.  He has some good talks on youtube. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmdLcyES_Q ) This is a good talk on the I intend and where it came from in his view. It is an interesting take.

Great leaders come from all different levels of experience. And is this supposed to make us feel old?

See, I got a late start. While I only have 10.5 years in, I am 35. So a bunch of people make me feel old!

I am one year ahead of you. Just hit 21 year mark on June 4th. 1997 when i came in seems so long ago, yet it went quickly at the same time.  The one thing i am proud of is being part of history. I was among the first to go through RFEP(Recruit Final Evaluation Phase) now known as Battlestations. My graduating class Divisions 289-298 we was the first to ever do it. We was the Guinea Pigs as every one called us lol. I remember the entire time, everyone kept telling us that our boot camp was going to be different than the other graduating classes before us. It wasn't until after we finished Service Week that our RDC told us about RFEP. Seeing what Battlestations is now, its awesome to think i was the first to do it. Something i will always treasure.
