I've been having nightmares too...since the 1st! My husband is deployed and works long hours in Navigation so he gave me the Navadmins website and told me to scour the internet for results everyday and call his office (yeah, I know, I'm probably not supposed to have that #) as soon as the results drop. So I've been following this thread since about October 3rd and I've learned a lot! But I can't wait for these results to come out cause I can't stop grinding my teeth! The anxiety is AWFUL. He's not counting on his Senior Chief or other non-officer people that are higher ranking than him to tell him if they find out the results cause they don't want him to get in and leave the ship. The senior chief even told him he didn't want him to get in cause he could make him a better chief than anything an officer could do. But he WANTS to be a SWO, so why can't they just support that and quit being mean about it? At least the Navigator and ANAV are supporting him. (he's on a carrier). Sorry, had to vent and this is the only place I can do that cause my friends and family don't understand Navy stuff. Whew. Now I can go grocery shopping and attempt to have a "normal" day. But I will probably still be logging on from my cell phone, cause I can't stop!!!
That's just the Chief way. He will harass him all day long and to no end... but Chiefs take care of their people. He will let your husband know and will support him 100%, guaranteed.
