Well I guess they're not going to deduct my 10 months of TDY in 2014 from my IDW DNQ date, even though they sent me somewhere I can't get IDW because I'm the only sailor. I got a nice email explaining that when I get back on 8MAR, that I have until 1APR to get IDW or I'll get "Significant Problems" for an eval. "You're our most technically diverse and highly qualified sailor in the division, I'm afraid you'll have to separate for it"

Get qualled, scrub. If you're as proficient as you say it shouldn't take you any time at all. Any board should be a formality.

So they're talking 'bout opening a navy base/stationing ship(s) in Australia. Don't they have trannies for Marines on liberty to murder so the locals rise up against a U.S. occupation?

Laundry was probably getting poo poo on more than anyone else in my division and were the source of 100% of our compartment hits. I actually got pulled out of pistol training to get beat along with the laundry POs for our first compartment hit because it made my Chief lose a bet.

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope the Navy got you something nice. I was presented the gift of knowledge of some of my old friends. 3 separated after Mast, 4 getting out with their early outs, and 1 that's getting admin sep'd and is trying to fight it. One of the dudes that got kicked out for pot 3 years back got a job with a fire department in northern Cali after apparently hitchhiking with hippies for 3 years in Alaska fixing up camp spots and poo poo. His life has been one massive fun adventure since getting the boot. 18 hour watch has me reflecting on all this.

Do my job? No sorry I have a bake sale to attend then I'm volunteering so I can't stand watch this weekend. I'm also going to school and have a test so I can't work past 5 I already cleared it with our department head. Like its amazing how many dudes are "hot poo poo" on paper and get good evals but don't even know their own job and somehow go years avoiding doing anything related to their actual job by volunteering for every command thing ever.

Don't we get points for collateral duties already? I think the best it does for most people is just get them face time with the Chiefs that also don't like work. i.e. the Chiefs that are in control of most things.

For E4-E6 sure, but based on every chief package training I've ever sat through (formal and informal) having more than one collateral is normally seen as a negative because how can you be leading sailors and doing your job as a collateral whore? It's really hilarious because everything everyone tells junior enlisted about how to get good evals is essentially the opposite of what the board looks at.

Lol this is the complete opposite of what I saw. You needed several command level collaterals to show leadership potential, department level collaterals to show you could be a departmental figurehead, and divisional poo poo to demonstrate a personal touch. Add in your LPO position (in which your work center supervisor did all the work) and general dick sucking you can spend way more time being an rear end in a top hat do nothing and make chief. Even better if it's "your turn" and despite all the evidence to the contrary of you being a piece of poo poo who deserves to get separated for high year tenure that you get all the good eval bullet points because you need that 4.0 over people who actually deserve it. Civilian life has its own bullshit to deal with but I'll take corporate culture over chief boards and the culture around it any day.

A buddy of mine showed me an older instruction and collateral duties was the last bullet point for consideration to make Chief. However those bullets aren't listed in precedence of importance I guess. Nostalgia4Dicks posted:When things were still popping that's what Army IAs were for.

Just checked in and one of the first things mentioned was how I should pick up collaterals to make myself stand out. Nothing about training and getting certified for the job I've never done before in a rate I just crossed into. Lol. Never change navy.

I was just thinking how lucky they were in some cases and how the range of what you're told in the military isn't always true. If anything, I just view my time in as getting the job done regardless of what someone else says and making it easier for the next guy that takes my place with a new SOP that explains everything in depth without them having to run into as many walls as I did learning everything. Board chat Seems that every board depends independently of whoever is running it and not what people widely believe things are to be run, gasp! You need to charge hard and dance to the tune.

Chief (and E-8/E-9) boards are poo poo shows that are governed by a mix of promotion requirements from PERS and board precepts from MCPON based on what he wants "his mess" to look like at any given time. It literally changes from year to year and especially from MCPON to MCPON. About the only consistent advice that can be given is, "EPs are good". Anyone who purports to have the "gouge" on CPO boards is either an idiot or lying. I had a sit down with a Force Master Chief a few weeks ago with some other PCO's and we spent quite a while bitching about it to him because it makes writing evals for them a pain in the rear end. He just shrugged and said, "we're trying to get better." I stick with advice I gave a few threads back. The best way to break out is to do high quality, in rate, work and make sure your primary ranker knows it. The idea that you need 100 collaterals is a myth perpetuated by people who have never been involved in the eval process. ManMythLegend fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Feb 16, 2015 |

I piece my image of what happens higher up at the other commands based on how some of the Chiefs and first classes that go through the ranking boards, ship and shore. MML, thats what I love about one of the dudes I met this past week. Got to talking about evals and he told me about how when he was a part of ranking the E4 evals he would shoot down people with loads of volunteer and collateral stuff because more often than not they failed at jobs/duties that mattered.
