2-3 week buffer? Child's play. Try reading the Navy Times where you regularly have to add AT LEAST 6 months to every supposed up and coming change they report. The Navy is going to make some uniform changes in FY14 you say? FY15 it is then!A good friend who has excellent connections. I know it sounds fishy but ill be honest, he is a FROG who usually never lies or has bad intel. Either way, all of it is scuttlebutt and I am treating it as such. Honestly I would rather believe 13 August and get a call tomorrow than think tomorrow and be disappointed.
I work for the government now and when someone gives a date around here, there is usually a 2-3 week buffer to that date.
