[Gaburieru]

I have been in I-SEL under review since Friday, how long do these typically take?

Can someone with SharePoint access look up my name to see if I'm at-board? Please DM (kind & generous people)

Why not ask and verify through your recruiter?

Anyone get any calls about the board results today? I saw someone else get a call from the reddit today and was wondering if anyone else heard any good news today? Could have also been I-Sel (didn’t say so in the post), just want to get ahead of it if so I can mentally prepare for the news

Nope, but if it makes you feel any better, it seems like the person who just posted on Reddt got accepted as a chaplain. I just did some digging on his/her post history LOL...(sniff sniff)

Thanks lol, I was worried I missed out on a call or was about to be called last to be let know that I was denied. Thank you!

Speaking of "mental preparation", I recently had this wild dream where I was on an aircraft carrier and this big blue whale came out. It swallowed me, my wife, and my two-year-old son. I got flushed out of its blowhole, flew maybe 30 feet up in the air and landed on the deck. I was frantically calling out for my wife and boy and they too landed right next to me getting flushed out. And out of nowhere my OR (Chief) came out from somewhere and said something to me I don't remember.

Two days ago I was infiltrating some naval base in my dreams..

I'm just having these stupid wild dreams when I sleep LMAO.

Did you check the actual post to see what board it is/was?

Damn, we should pray harder then.

Any dream updates?

I had my first stress dream last night. Got the yes, (had to track down my OR and ended up wait outside the office doors to find out because I couldn’t get anyone to answer calls or emails) but had to wait to June, last FY26 class, and was at OCS during my birthday which (in the dream) was not fun

Let me browse through the dream DB in my brain….

As a matter of fact, this morning I definitely had a dream chipping paint on a submarine(at least it seemed like) with other fresh people. One of them was getting smacked for asking a dumb question. But that was all it. Hopefully, a good omen.

Other “notable” lists.

1. A miniature poodle I had in my childhood suddenly going bipedal and claiming it’s the direct heir of Shaka-Zhan (If anyone’s ever played Warcraft, might make sense?) and telling me I should obey its order.

2. Having a good time with two beautiful blonde ladies (cannot elaborate further due to highly explicit content)

3. Stuck up in an old run-down barracks room with 6 wooden doors and waves of zombies closing in. Just woke up right before getting surrounded.

4. Winning the lottery and being happy. And at one point realized that shit’s too good to be true. Woke up saying “Awww fuck!!”.

5. The whale dream mentioned in a previous comment.

6. Meeting the a-hole sergeant again who used to give me all kinds of hell when I was serving in the army of my home country.

7. Getting an unexpected waiver/admin approval for a military job I thought was DQed for. I saw the sun shining and giving me a warm smile.

I had one yesterday after watching Master & Commander (greatest movie ever) where I was on a sailing ship and each section kept needing repairs and was slowly flooding. Woke up and still not in the Navy. Stressed but also relieved?
