if it's just board eligible then there's a chance you won't be selected (you'll be selected)

this reminds me of a first class I knew who was planning to retire at the end of deployment. he made Chief and left our det to go do Chief season things and pin his anchor. he then still retired like six months later. there was another first who made it while on terminal and used innappropriate language when saying he wasn't coming back. wow, he would have made a great Chief.

a testament to how stupid and dumb the Seabees are that guys make it or are selected and say "lol gently caress this" instead of gutting it out to bump their retirement pay

The EDO who was my old battalions CO, CDR Troy Bailey, after I left was selected. During the first deployment he skippered a troop on a detachment drowned. CDR Bailey visited the detachment and, per the more junior troops, did not talk to them about what happened, or talk to them at all. He did yell at the OIC and other senior personnel about their projects not being done fast enough, though. Hoorah!
