I am going to guess that 66% of STG2s advanced, 1 STG3 advanced, and 1 STGSN advanced.

I'm pretty sure no one in my unit advanced so there will be some sad faces come next weekend.

That is correct.

must be nice to have that EP and time in rate since the cold war. and maybe a hand full of gundecked NAMs

We had a 1st make it last cycle, originally missed it by 1 point. command magically found him a back dated FLOC so he could make it

I missed MMN2 off of my 2nd test ever by 10 points (with a P), then made it on my 3rd test (with a P). Got a whole lotta glares from the khaki for not being a real nuke MM and making 2nd Class off of a STAR. Word on the street is that I became some sort of folk hero.

e: I don't remember how much I missed it on the first one because that poo poo happened like a month after A school.

I was in the 95th percentile, there weren't 5 more points for me to make. My command doesnt usually hand out gundeck NAM's unless you blow the chain. I'll leave with an EoT Nam maybe. only thing to save me is either 1. I quit being an rear end in a top hat and get an MP, 2. Higher quota, 3. TiR and PNA

Keep in mind that the value of TiR is being reduced significantly with the new multiple calculations, and the value of high test scores for E-4/E-5 or high evals for E-6/7 is being increased. Also, PNA points will only be given out for top 25% of test scores or evals.

true, but EP drops to 60 points, MP to 48 and P to 30, its just changing what hand we get jerked off with. Remember how "PTS was dead" then out came C-Way

Ah yes C-Way... the same bullshit that is still promoting our hosed up eval system where someone can snag an EP and then stagnate and get surpassed by multiple others in the command and yet he can be guaranteed to retain that EP for rest of the time at the command just so he can still get C-Way approved.

They are taking away my good cookies, they already changed the test to retard level theory (why the gently caress do I have to know AT-I level calculations and CASS test equipment internals/theory as an AT-O), lowering the amount actual test is worth (one area I do good) and making evals more important when the system is hosed.

I can look forward to never getting full PNA points again under the new system thanks to my PP from poo poo timing and being at a massive disadvantage out the door.

My first exam for YN3 resulted in PNA'ing it. 99th Percentile. Promotable Eval. Missed the cut-off by .24; that's less than a quarter of a point.

Next exam I scored a perfect 80 and frocked it. My Eval was still a 3 in Professional Knowledge.

That was my last job. You're divo for the EMs onboard. In addition to that, you will also be in charge of the ship's electrical safety program. It's not a terribly difficult job, but you will own a shitload of stuff and have only a handful of people to take care of it all. If you're there through an INSURV, be prepared to get an intimate understanding of every fuse box, breaker box, etc. on the ship. I may still have some old excel files I made for tracking that stuff laying around.

Depending on how the ship is laid out division wise, and whether you have gas turbines at all, you may have the GSEs work for you as well. That will mean you've got the generators as well as the electrical system under your purview. You'd probably oversee the calibration work as well.


If you're going to a nuclear ship, disregard everything I've said because I was just a conventional SWO.

Stop lying to yourself. All the longtime posters in Gip know your last Navy job was deskside, routing paperwork & being fleeced for $1400 worth of non-returnable t-shirts, while waiting for your medboard discharge to process.

I have had two inguinal hernia surgeries. One of them built up a shitload of scar tissue around it. This is pretty common, apparently. I have a nerve dead ended in that scar tissue. I stretched the scar tissue, nerve sent the signal that there is a tear, so I've felt like I ripped open a hernia for two years twenty-one days and counting. I found out recently from the surgeon that performed the original repair that if the surgeon at Tripler that diagnosed it had actually done surgery to move the nerve or kill it, I'd most likely be fine. Since he didn't, I've got the neural pathway built up and the pain isn't going anywhere. I got rated at 20% for it, given severance, and sent on my way.

Hey now, it was only $1000! Either way, they were instituting the 2nd tour electro while I was finishing my first tour electro job. I think the biggest difference now is he gets a school first and he might get dumped with the GSEs as well.
