Here are my thoughts regarding the STA results:
First, the CNO is the highest ranking Naval Officer in America. I can only imagine how busy he is. Those of us who have ever been in an administrative/supervisory position can relate to the tedious nature of those duties. Now, amplify that by 1000 and I would hazard to say that you would be approaching the CNO’s level of daily sufferings.
Second, I too am eagerly awaiting the results. But, I have recently had a revelation. To quote a TV show; “the great thing about a fantasy is the possibility that it may come true. When you realize that it won’t, it just sucks!”
Since the day I mailed my package, I have been living a fantasy. I have been exploring the “what-ifs” in my mind and imagining my future as a Naval officer. Sadly, the day the results come out is the day that my fantasy may come to an end (at least, for another year). Frankly, I am OK with the notion of fanaticizing for a couple more weeks.
Part of leadership is the ability to accept things that our out of your control and to exercise a great deal of patience. My suggestions: relax, explore the possibilities in your mind and enjoy this period of innocence. One way or the other, it ends soon enough.
