The fact is, they made the fraction for THEM. THEY filled 85% of billets based on the projection for billets associated with a specific YG. I get it, and I hear the explanation every time it comes up as if I don't understand what they're doing. But for the sake of WHY they are publishing the numbers and who the consumers are (us: with a vested interest in figuring out our odds/careers/etc), they are full of shit. You can't simply make up a fraction and keep a straight face while claiming it means anything for the people who are using it to figure out their odds. If the made-up fraction was so important to them, they should do the math and use that number internally. For the rest of us, it looks like an effort to blow smoke.
For MPRF NFO? TACRON? Wing? Who knows, but I'm guessing not good. I have heard of some weird billets, some good, some not. My TACAMO NFO buddy arranged to go back to the wing to at least go back to his wife/home after geo-baching on the boat. I've also heard there's an E2 NFO billet on a cruiser.... if that's true and I were a tube rat, I would never stop vomiting.
Well sure, but it's more about AQDs/quals. An E2 window-licker is basically a flying OS in combat (AIC/etc) so the duties are directly transferable for them to take a leadership position as a non-DH on a cruiser.
WTF! Did you just come back to troll?
What is trolling about that? Perhaps hyperbolic, but that was told to me directly by an E2 NFO who worked with me as a TAO in combat... I understand there are some differences in authority and other duties, but a lot of the basic job sets are very similar and the point was it make sense for someone with that background to work in combat on a cruiser overseeing people with whom that person has a direct knowledge of their jobs and required duties.
Can we keep it to unfounded rumors and conjecture about this year's board results, please?
Thanks.
Thanks.
