FY 23 CPO (E7) Selection Board

[JNR]

Now to wait 37 days for results. I wish they would just pull the Band-Aid off.  

[Shrek OSCS]

Schrodingers’s Chief. At this moment the board has adjourned and everyone eligible is both selected and non selected lol.

 

Best of luck to everyone eligible. To the MN in the crowd keep your heads up. Navy advancement is ebb and flow. I just wanted to leave a few helpful tips here I learned as a Chief Select and in the 7 years since.

1. Your Season will last from 9/06-10/21. If you have any appointments at all during this time that aren’t critical try and reschedule. 
2. Most commands have done their PFA but there is always the risk of someone’s PHA expiring in Sep/Oct. If your PHA expires you will not be allowed to participate in the PT portion until it gets fixed.

3. When your season starts, don’t leave anything on the table. Give it 100%. You will regret it if you don’t. 
4. Formation runs are one of the most powerful events for building Esprit de Corps in a unit. With roughly 36 days left, try and learn a unique cadence now. 

5. HAVE FUN! This may not make any sense to you during the hard times but this is YOUR season! 
6. Good Luck!!

They'll be out when they're out IMHO. Some of us will cry, others be happy, or just not care.  Be the best 1st you can be, care for your guys, always make copies of everything, and life goes on.  I have a few years till retirement. At this point if I make it awesome, if I dont awesome. Still gonna collect a pension by God's good grace. 

[JNR]

Is it Sept 6th yet...lol

 

[ChristianSubmariner]

Nope August 18th, little over two weeks or so till we get to see some sad panda FCPOs walking around.  

[DocMix]

Anyone else have a routine for dealing with non-selection? I came up with mine last year, I take leave for the rest of the week! My wife and kids already know not to bring up anything Navy related for the rest of that week lol

[JNR]

@DocMix Nah I just keep it moving. I get more upset when I see who makes it. After a few days I get over it. At the end of the day, it is ok to retire as a 1st Class.

[ChristianSubmariner]

Anyone else hear of results coming out this week? Just a rumor mill that's spinning. 

[JNR]

@ChristianSubmarine, I haven't  heard anything. That would be great though.

I agree. Got some FCPOs in office who are anxiety ridden about this. I got leave coming up and transferring soon, that's my concern lol 

[JNR]

@ChristianSubmarine, I understand them. I am also passed 20 and my anxiety is off the charts. It never gets old. Hope for the best for everyone.

I’ve been having anxiety since qoutas came out. It’s like a helicopter hovering above my head. I just need to know yay or nah. Then move on. Ready to retire. Got 4 yrs and change left.

I feel that. I got over 2 years left till I hit my 18 year mark then I'm submitting my intent to retire paperwork. If I dont make it at that time, then they can keep it.

My Fleet Reserve request was approved today. In the slight chance (11th time SBE) I was selected am I still able to go through season and get paid for last 6 months or so before separating?

This is important. Self care is paramount when getting that N. I made Chief first time up and during our INDOC the late CMDCM Snaza asked “who here made Chief their first time up?”. A bunch of us proudly raised our hands and were met with “so you have no idea what it feels like to not make Chief”. It really resonated with me and helped me get through getting the N for Senior the first 2 times. It hurt especially having great evals, ranked at the ISIC level, and 25% advancement to E8. There isn’t any right answer to this but for me I found solace in congratulating those who made it. Being proud for and with my shipmates knowing, while the extra pay would be amazing, I didn’t need a star to lead, train and develop Chiefs, Sailors and Officers.

For those who get the N, myself more than likely included, it is important how you conduct yourself in front your guys when it comes to failure. Get the N, do the job, care for your guys, love your family, and realize in the grand scheme it's not that important compared to your health, faith, family, and your men.  How can we teach our sailors about recovering from failure and disappointment if we act like we just got a death sentence? They pick up on that real quick!  Be a man, wear those PO1 crows with pride, and lead your men.  Anything less is unacceptable.

Yes.  This is pretty normal.  Some change their minds but many don't.

Results were to triad a day earlier than MCPON’s letter last year, has anyone heard of a possible Friday release due to the holiday Monday?

Nope and I honestly don’t want it to be earlier, either wanna enjoy my last free 96 weekend or not have it ruined by bad news
