At this point in the process I am rather confused. I thought that it was a fairly straight forward process to attempt to be a DCO. Not easy, but straight forward; now I am not so sure. My OR submitted my application to the processor at the end of November. In theory there was a board late...

I was able to get access to the Delta lounges by just showing my AMEX, ID, and same day plane ticket for Delta.

The 30 days wasn't the surprising part. The surprising part was that they wanted a copy of his orders. Previous posts seemed to indicate that they did something with SSN or such. Like I said, still worth it. :)

There is a huge difference between coffee and good coffee. I'm a New England Coffee fan personally. The blueberry cobbler is heaven in a cup and available online. :)

I got to try a few of the lounges out during my work trip this past week. It was wonderful. The only drawback is that PenguinGuy was charged the $450 fee. I called about it, they wanted me to send them a copy of his orders. So I sent the electronic copy and now they are telling me it will be at...

PenguinGuy lived in Marsh Oaks as an O1 from 2009-2010. While it was a great, direct shot to the back gate (something he did miss once we moved), that did not make up for poor service and really annoying people living in the complex. The rare times that he had issues in the apartment resulted in...

Your wife should probably learn to do the taxes this year. Goodness knows PenguinGuy is usually off doing the whole "see the world" part of Navy life come tax season. It makes sense to have both of you versed in how to handle the finances. Oh, and don't forget to get her POAs!!!!!

OK, I wasn't able to make the client happy. I could have if the person in my position 2 iterations ago would have done his job properly! lol Anyway, I have been thinking longer and harder about this than I probably should have. I'm still not 100% happy with my response to this but it is a start...

It looks like that sentiment came out far angrier than it was intended! Perhaps a better turn of phrase would have been "wake up call". I am working on a more detailed response but a client meeting is about to begin. Hold that thought! :)

This. I have made many friends at OSC functions but at the same time it is appalling how catty, petty, and downright mean some of the spouses can be. Sometimes it makes me ashamed to be a member of these groups...Admittedly, this assessment should not be confined to OSC. There are a lot of...

Yeah, I'm still waiting for results from a board at the end of November 2012. Sometimes there are good reasons for not releasing the information ASAP.

I can't speak to those, but I do not recommend Marsh Oaks over on A1A. A little further down the way, off of Atlantic on San Pablo is Banyan Bay. They were decent. No major complaints on getting to/from work over at Mayport either. If you haven't been out of Mayport before, I would recommend not...

And that is the ONLY reason I am glad that I had to clear MEPS before submitting my DCO application!

CTN1Sid, Yup! Well, it worked out that it wasn't a huge amount of paperwork for the issue (female stuff, lol) so I really only needed results from my last exam showing everything normal and a note from my doctor saying that there is nothing wrong with me. I am lucky enough to be using Tricare...

This surprises me because I also had a tonsillectomy around the same age and even with it on my paperwork MEPS did not ask to see anything on it. They did ask for more information on another 'issue' but not that one.

The search function on this site is amazing. There are a ton of threads about upcoming selection boards.

Not to take this thread even more Ohio-centric, but I gotta say that I would put Arby's over Skyline when it comes to great things out of Ohio.

At least they're not Detroit! (As a native Ohioan, Youngstown,I can say that. ) I can also say that it is amazing to actually live near real bodies of water. I will be forever grateful for the opportunities afforded to me by virtue of PenguinGuy's service (and hopefully mine). J. McGinnis, you...

Yup, my husband just applied as well. It should be very easy to hit the 2k mark with the upcoming PCS.

While I agree completely that such a garment should never be worn with brown shoes, perhaps those misguided few are the ones who, like me, desire to wear the garment itself. It looks ever so warm and cozy...

If you crack the books the same way you have been rocking your work in the fleet (MP, MP. EP) then you should be good to go. :)

I write this with the following disclaimer: I am not currently a service member (awaiting results of my DCO board) and while husband is AD Navy, he is a SWO. Thus, my knowledge of the aviation community is pretty limited to what I have read on this website. That being said, there are a LOT of...

You are awesome BusyBee!!! Thank you, I'll give him the numbers as this is obviously not a spouse-friendly function. :D

You guys are awesome! As soon as he gets off duty (tomorrow morning) I will be passing on the list of possibilities. I so wish this was the case, unfortunately everyone who has promoted recently already did this and the next round of promotions will be after he detaches. His timing could...

Happy Christmas to all!

Hey ya'll! Random question for people familiar with San Diego. My husband has his promotion ceremony on Saturday which means that in the very near future he will be responsible for coordinating his wetting down. Sadly, he has yet to be able to make any of the previous wetting downs that have...

To quote PenguinGuy "Um, it's called a SWO sweater for a reason..."

Any word on this board? My OR never said whether or not it actually convened a couple of weeks ago. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the update! I am anxiously awaiting the results of the November CEC DCO board. A couple of questions for you. 1. What community are you in and how long from the end of the board until you heard if you had been selected? 2. Following selection, how long until you had your COMDOCS and...

It did rain all day in Thursday if that helps.... Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Congratulations to all who got the yes! For those that didn't, don't give up! Random question, anyone here from NRD San Diego? If so, have you gotten word yet? Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

All this talk of alcohol and drinking, yet I haven't heard of anyone here in Vegas for ICAS which means it is 2020 and I'm alone and drunk in las Vegas. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Not just male only. However even for women it wasn't that bad. I totally admit to falling on my arse during the duck walk though! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Anyone know when results of this board will come out? Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Because not everyone uses the same and most reliable forms of birth control. For instance, forms of hormonal birth control that are stronger than the mirena IUD actually make me sick. Aside from physical inability to handle some forms of BC, religious reasons can also come into play. Besides, no...

Ditto. I keep using the fact that ya'll are getting results as a justification to email my recruiter to ask about the results from the board at which my package was reviewed!

He heard from his processor, not recruiter according to follow on posts.

Even though I'm not going for SNA/SNFO, the CEC DCO board was also held recently and it is that exact weird feeling that has me jumping at every email/phone alert!

Just a fair word of warning when ordering transcripts-make sure that you get them sent either directly to your recruiter or to someone that is not you so that you can then take them to the recruiter. The first copy of my graduate school transcripts I had sent to my recruiter never made it there...

Awww, stop! You are making me blush. :) Gotta say that if the Navy is like the civilian world, this BS is everywhere, not just one discipline.

I'm not a SWO or even in the Navy (yet, hopefully!). However, my husband is a SWO and I like to think that I have seen at least part of the misery that is SWO-dom. There are plenty of miserable inspections, underways that provide nothing other than stress for the SWOs :;cough helo quals...

Yeah, it is news like this that just depresses me about my chances. :( Even beyond that, I feel terrible for all the people currently on the reserve side who are going to get moved around or 'encouraged' to cross rate or leave. This is going to be a nightmare of paperwork!

Oh good sweet Lord above. I think I almost had a heart attack. I pinged my recruiter yesterday asking if there was any idea when the CEC DCO board results of last week would be available. Just now I get back to my desk after about 15 minutes of being away to see this subject line and start of...

Oh most wonderful NavyOffRec, you wouldn't happen to know if the CEC board 'met' as planned this week, would you? :) Sent from my Eris using Tapatalk 2

Oh, get your mind out of the gutter. lol I am doing LEED building commissioning for one of the major hotels on the strip and it is looking like the work will extend far beyond what was originally anticipated.

I'm not going to ICAS, but I will most likely be working in Vegas that week. Can I join ya'll for some post-event libations?

Oh the joys of technology!

As a spouse, I would totally recommend SD over Mayport. Having survived my husband's first DivO tour at Mayport, I have told him that he ought to do everything he can to avoid going back there. Great base, good ship, great CoC, but miserable location. Then again, we are both from the north and...

I was just wondering where selection boards meet. Is there a single location, such as millington where all boards meet? Or do the boards pick a location based on the community? Sent from my Eris using Tapatalk 2

Thanks kurowashi9! I am just waiting. I was told the board convene date got moved up to last week of November (this coming week!) and so I am being cautiously optimistic about hearing back in time for Christmas. Everything is complete--MEPS, NASIS, etc etc etc...Can you help time go faster!? :)
