andrew.anderson Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I have already been offered a command and now an Aid de Camp job. The Army is trying to get me to stay in. They are goign back and looking for a different command to offer. They have not offered anything enticing enough yet. Yes...I am that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyh Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 The Navy's quotas for FY07 Chiefs came out recently. The bottom dropped out of the percentage for my rate. It kinda figures, this is the first year I'm eligible for Chief. Advancement board results should be out sometime in the next two weeks.

Tommyh Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm between commands right now going to schools until mid-September. My current next command is an awesome job, opportunity, and in general very cool it's also on the other side of the country in Bangor WA, a great place. If I make Chief (E-7) this set of orders are dissolved as they are for a First Class P.O. (E-6), and I'll have to renegotiate for new orders to somewhere in the fleet where I’ll be needed. Please don't get me wrong, I'll be very ok if I don't make it as everything is currently in motion for that, and I'm very excited for the challenge of the first SSGN. On the other hand, I want to be a Chief. I personally just dislike ambiguity and waiting for information. Martin Luther - "Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long."

SBT Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Good luck and I hope you'll be putting on khakis soon. This happened to me between DSs and was re-routed to another position while in transit. It can be done but your HHG make take a while to catch up with you, especially if the new DS is on the other side of the world...lol SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kong Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 wow, I never noticed this thread. Good stuff. USN here too AM2 1997-2001 VFA-87 Hey guys I heard from a friend of mine who is still in that the navy is starting to requiring PO's to have an Associates now, and e-7+ to get a bachelors. Is this true? He's also debating about getting out now, but I told him he should just stick it out and finish up and retire since he will have put in 10 years I think when he is eligible to get out. And good luck Tommy on making chief!!! hooya shipmate (edited) for some spelling lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So right now, while I'm between commands and going to schools, I'm living in my own house. I'll also say that in this case, for the most part, I'm glad that I don't have any dependants (wife, kids, etc.); that has got to be insane for them. Otherwise, I'm chomping at the bit for the board results. I hope my record is good enough, however I don't know if I'll make it due to missing qualifications. I was too junior and too busy (lame excuse, I know) when I left my last sea-going command to qualify the "Chief" watch stations on my boat (DC, COW, DOOW).

WRT missing quals - Git 'em done... if anything will "notch" you upward, it's having those individual CPO quals complete and in your record. Most of the CPO-candidates that I've reviewed were missing several key pieces and while not disaqualifying, dropped them further down the consideration list.

I'm not sure if there are additional requirements but I would look for them as the Navy continues to ramp up its Human Capitalization Program.

I've been on shore duty and didn't have a chance to be a rider on a boat to do them. I left the boat as an E-5 with two years TIR and the LPO of a junior and busy division, and at that point felt burnt out and completely uninterested in taking on any more duties or tasking.

Tommyh Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 wow, I never noticed this thread. Good stuff. USN here too AM2 1997-2001 VFA-87 Welcome to the thread, where is/was VFA-87 out of or attached to? Hey guys I heard from a friend of mine who is still in that the navy is starting to requiring PO's to have an Associates now, and e-7+ to get a bachelors. Is this true? He's also debating about getting out now, but I told him he should just stick it out and finish up and retire since he will have put in 10 years I think when he is eligible to get out. In the very near future that will be a requirement for advancement to E-7, E-8, and E-9. I believe it's possibly one of the better things the Navy can implement to improve the quality of its senior sailors, and better our prospects when we get out. With as much OJT we get/have and the Navy schools that we go too this is a very reasonable set of goals/requirement. And good luck Tommy on making chief!!! hooya shipmate Hey thanks.

I hear ya. There comes a point where you just want to get back to sea duty to get some normalcy back. Or, if you're pulling BTB sea duty tours and you finally get to shore duty, it's like woo hoo, time to chill. It's difficult to find the balance but it comes down to realistic goal setting and prioritizing the critical few that you need to get done. Sounds like you've done well and we're all pulling for you. Good luck. If you're in San Diego, hit me up and I'll buy you a beer. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT gtw subie, I'll let my boy know that he doesn't have to worry about it so much. @tommy, Well we were first in Jax, FL and after our 99 cruise went up to Oceana in Virginia Beach. And now my boy is telling me they want to close down Oceana too when several new building have just been built. And he has no idea where 87 will go now. He is now attached to VFA-15 which is our sister squadron so where they go 87 usually follows lol. So when will it be required for e-7+ to have those post high school education requirements? Will it be 2011 like what subie said? Okay...too much Navy jargon. We even have a Navy battalion that works for us and only half of your conversations make sense. lol, the same could be said for you guys when you are around us.
