Message 383 came out 12/02 last year, i ain't waiting that long, i'll fly to Pensacola and steal those results, shouldn't be to hard to confuse the admin folk there, this is the same base that couldn't get any ones plane tickets right after I graduated Aircrew school!

My ships underway got pushed out longer so I just have to wait for something to happen, everytime the CO comes on the 1MC I hold my breath thinking that she is going to announce the results. There arent enough computers in my shop for me to stay logged into one all day and I try to keep myself busy anyway so that way I am distracted for refreshing the screen. Im going crazy with the waiting as it is.

I feel like the results coming sooner is just hastening my own demise. I tried not to get my hopes up: fail.

The Sec of the Navy was on my ship yesterday and I was tempted to ask him if he knew when the results were going to come out. My CO was standing right next to be though so I chose not too, she did introduce me as a STA-21 canidate though that was cool.

you are right sometimes it is better to be prepared for the worse case senario I know I do that, I already mentioned my plans for appliying this year. That doesnt mean that I am not optimisitic that I will get picked up this year though.

Hey DiverDan... I've been wondering: is that you in your profile pic?

Yep, that was from late June/early July while I was in Vietnam. Diving off of a barge looking for lost pilots for JPAC. Can't say how it turned out since we did a ton of dredging and all the possible human remains went with JPAC. They usually take at least a few months to a year (sometimes more) to know if any remains match those missing guys. By then I may not even be at this command anymore so I doubt I'll ever find out.

How can you say shame on somebody for not wanting to be enlisted anymore and strive for something better like a commission? Not everybody's job in the navy is the same. Have you ever had to field day an engineroom for 5 hours? Have you ever had to get in a bilge that's the width of a flight deck and paint it? Have you ever had to stand 5 hours of watch in a 100 degree steam plant and only get 10 hours off before having to go do it again? Being an LS3, not likely. So don't go saying it's shameful for an enlisted guy to want a commission for the sake of getting out of the enlisted ranks. Leave your air conditioned office and that comfy chair then come meet me on the 8th deck in the bilge and we'll talk..

Let me defend myself. I was undesignated for 3 years and struck LS. Field day, yes. Needlegun, check. 6 hour watch in aft steering on 4 hours sleep, of course. Painting, don't get me started... I was stating that it's a shame if you're doing it for the wrong reasons. I believe that the mindset of, "I can't be enlisted anymore. If I can't be an officer then to hell with this." is the wrong mindset. Do it for your country not for yourself.
