FY16 Chief Selection Board

[Guest itdominance]

Norfolk?  No thanks lol, I've been through there twice, and while passing through isn't bad, can't see myself being stationed there.  Pretty interesting places on your list.  I've been to San Diego (really nice scenery there), stationed in Bahrain (jewel of a place, everyone should experience in my opinion, minus the crazy drivers) and been to Jacksonville (seems alright).  Nice mixture of places.

my CO was a Marine Colonel in 2013. Bet the Chiefs board was like what when they saw that on my eval?

[Guest itdominance]

all done with SNCO JPME. Posttest was breeze! About 8 hours total invested in the course. Finish up everyone. Board results coming soon!

[Guest itdominance]

SNCO JPME was a lot smoother than the PPME.  Required less time as well.  Good stuff itdominance!

Yup. Is it March yet? Want to see my profile sheet.

Right I was just looking at my last profile sheet .... Come on March already !!!!! I just need to know I got my ticket to the dance :-)

[Guest hayes]

We got about 4 more weeks. My money's on March 19th.

Will they do triad only results for SBE before public release? I hope not.

[Guest AOCMAC]

I think the triad release is only for advancment/selection results.  Last year board list just came out.  My AO2 came to my room in while deployed in Bahrain and told me I made board.  

[Guest itdominance]

so my ompf and prims is missing from BOL. Contacted the BOL HelpDesk and they are perplexed. This is not a good sign!

[Guest AOCMAC]

Wow you know they have backups of backups of backups right.  Well hopefully !

[Guest itdominance]

missing as in no link to see them or missing as in when you click your ompf nothing shows up?

no links are showing. BOL tech support told me I was wrong until they looked into it and agreed!

[Guest Blondie]

just started on the SNCO JPME via NKO. Couldn't get it to work last year. On module 7 of 215. WooHoo! Did the BPME and PPME last year already!

I did the PPME and JPME for last year's board.  I wonder if doing those without first completing the BPME may have hurt my chances...

[Guest HawaiiGM]

hello everyone, I have a question that somebody may be able to answer, I have a sailor who had a periodic frocked E6 eval and got and EP, then the sailor transferred and got a transfer EP, them the sailor checked into a new command at the end of October and got an NOB. The sailor took the most recent CPO test for LDO purposes but, he was looking thru instructions and found out that he should of been able to take the test for CPO purposes. Is it too late to go to admin and get it fixed? so if he makes board, he can put in a package?

There's a book on Amazon some of you might find helpful (I have no affiliation with the author, but it looks like a great resource):

I think you are nuking it.  You aren't going to get penalized because you did them out of order.  Most people don't do them at all.

I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm pretty sure they are going to be waiting until next year to take the test for CPO SBE.  It would take a lot of favors at this point to get it changed.  The argument is that if they were ready to be a chief they would have already known that they were elligible.  They would have needed an approved chit to waive the year in time in-rate which they don't have.

Thanks, just got a copy for $5.00 shipped!

Blondie, I don't think it matters. The BPME & PPME are identical.

I'll have to look up the instruction to be 100% sure, but I also received an EP on my periodic frocked E6 eval, received a transfer EP, and then received a NOB on the next eval, and I was not eligible to test for CPO early.  This is just a personal anecdote but that is how it went for me.  I will check the instruction at work and get back to you.

 

In any case, I don't think it's too late.  I would contact your command's training officer rather than admin though - or whoever administers advancement exams at your location.

I am finishing up my e5 evals and still no new profile sheet.

[Guest AOCMAC]

I would say PPME and JPME are your big hitters bpme just a plus !  I did all three.

[Guest itdominance]

They're all beneficial, I'd advise not only first classes to do them, but get your junior Sailors to do them as well.

I have put that out to my juniors. No one wants to do them!

[Guest itdominance]

A little persuasion goes a long way...they're quite lengthy but well worth it.

haha. easier said than done on shore duty. especially in our environment

[Guest itdominance]

One just has to wonder, "Are the exam results ready to be released?" haha

they are they are! but will they?

Sorry it took so long getting an answer.  The TIR waiver only applies for EPs on their most recent periodic eval.  Source is BUPERSINST 1430.16
