  1. Senior Raters and the FSS have always gotten the info early

    both have letters to draft, documentation to update on surfs, etc

    group and squadron commanders or equivalent find out a few days later.   Individuals have always found out by COB prior to release date.   

     

    Statistics don't generally come out until public release date.  Sometimes a senior rather Or base might try to figure out statistics based on their persons and the list, but it's only accurate to a certain degree.

    DOPMA.  They have a moving target.  It's not uncommon for the increment to change.

    Most people's ADSC are up in summer/fall...   they probably caught up with last years seps, and aren't sure if it will continue this summer /fall because of all their awesome "fixes" to the system.   They'll realize just as many are punching..... in the coming months

    After the 0517A MLR, someone mentioned SECAF guidance on Year Group role in 2017 boards. Has it been masked (or de-emphasized) to place Above Zones on equal footing? ...thoughts?   

    It's been like that since CY15 boards.... at least that's when it began.  Seems as though it has continued in 16.... we will see if it continues in 17 here in the next month.   Only way to know for sure is to get ahold of the memorandum to the board...which is the same for each bird within the calendar year. It takes about 7 days to get the memo from afpc through a FOIA request.

    I would tend to think May-July 18. The '08 guys will start pinning on in Aug-Sept '17. With the last two year groups exhausting the list in 9 months, I'm thinking '08 will be done by April '18, and the '09 guys start in May '18.

    The flood gates are open, O-4 11Xs are bailing faster than anyone in the military as soon as their 12 year purgatory is up. Too far from retirement and too tired to put up with more BS.

    Duck,

       If you have/had such a good record, how'd you manage to get passed over?  What's the secret sauce?

    Can you guys educate me? I'm an 09 guy, which means my board is at the end of this year. I'm sure we will all start pinning on after the 08 guys finish pinning on.

    Any ideas on when that will be? 

    LOL

      november of 18.     that's a somewhat WAG, but probably pretty accurate.    you're board meets this December and will be finalized/results public by the end of March 18.    I'd venture that the 17B guys are done pinning on in October 18.

     

  6. Well I don't want to get your hopes up too much.  The board may look through your records more closely and depending on how the navy does business, it may make a difference in how they score your records....   

    but id say you have a great shot btz, and def an easy shot in the zone if it comes to that

     

  7. I have never once thought about someone coming in from another service and how their PRF might look.   

    Very interesting

    You have a lot of major strats, so I'm assuming you are asking for an 0-5 to 0-6 section board?   If you are asking about a major to lt col board, then you are a shoe in for LT col btz.

    If that's the case he should probably use all of them.

    Probably deciding which to put first on each line.   

    Prfs are already in for LAF lt col board.... if he's talking about lt col to col.... then still same answer, but typically don't see too many cgo strats on one of those (that make it to col)

    PRF Stratification Question...this is for a Lt Col BPZ board.  Is a #1 of a smaller denominator better than a #3 or #4 of a larger denominator?  Also, does an FGO strat carry more weight than a CGO strat with a very large denominator?  Below are a few examples....which are stronger?

    #1/60 Majors or #4/118 Majors

    #1/32 O-4s or  #3/216 CGOs

    #4/118 Majs or #5/340 O-4s

    1/60 is a tad better than #4/118, but both are good

    1/32 majors is way better than a cgo strat

    5/340 majors is better than 4/118 majors

     

    if your prf was full of great cgo strays and no majors strats, then you are in trouble.   Major and fgo strats are a weighted heavily.  

  10. I don't see what difference it really makes.

       I've always preferred going off base to drink.

        and they can't stop that.   even if you want to have a promotion celebration.   just have the official ceremony on base and cut chalk and take the real celebration somewhere else.

  11. While I think you are right on all accounts, it doesn't matter

     

     you will either be promoted or you won't be (at which point you will be continued)

     

    they arent going to pay to pay you to leave at this point.    So take the 20 year retirement as a captain as a blessing in disguise and go enjoy yourself and your family if you have one.    Or get out and do something better.   But you aren't getting sep pay IMO

    Always take the broader category when able.  #1/xx FGO is better than #1/xx Maj or LtCol, even if xx is the same number.

    I think 1/15 lt cols is better than a "more broad" 1/19 FGOs, but maybe that's just me

    I have heard that a strat in your rank is the best you can get.... even a major strat over an FGO strat for instance.  FGO strats are given more to lt col (s) who don't need major strats and aren't really in the mix for lt col strats yet
