Good thing I am not effected yet. E-6, HM, over 15 yrs.

 

[1WKDRSH]

They say we could put in for conversions and I believe HM is open.

Put in for MA (if its open), at least something to get you prep for when you get out. HM is good, too.

GSM1 just over 12 = Safe for now
I expect them to subcontract out the entire Naval service here very soon.

I don't think "MA" was on the list, but that is a good thought. IDK if I would want to be a HM though, I should though 7 1/2 til I retire.

I hate when they chop the middle out of the Navy. Clinton did this during his term and the Navy is just starting to recover the loss of knowledge and leadership....now here they go again. What are they doing?????

Cut the admirals and hundreds of O-6s that are milking the system. Then they could save some real money!!!!

 

[blackstallion06]

MA is pretty closed too

 

[Dusten]

Good thing I got my PTS approval in november...

 

[V.I. Massive]

ABEC/ E-7 Over 18 appears safe for now, but like CWO says the knowledge of the deckplate proffessionals who are the heart of our work force will be most affected.

 

[blackstallion06]

Waiting for PTS now... just hope to make E-6 to be safe for a min. I make it Im re-enlisting all the way out to 20

 

[Dusten]

E6 isn't safe. I had to PTS this last fall, my EAOS is feb, but i'm likely re-enlisting this summer

 

[Gibs]

Well I had a meeting with SURFPAC CMC the other day and he spoke about tis. Basically if you dont give them a reason to get rid of you, they wont. There will be some that get booted that should be kept, but that happens alot.

Good luck to all and hopefully you all get to have the choice to get out.

I am safe for another 2 years, then have to worry about the continuation board myself.

[wickedstangs]

glad I have 250 days left in the navy

 

[V.I. Massive]

Yeah there is the continuation board, but as long as you aren't sitting on your butt and you are improving or at least visibly active should be ok.

 

[Gibs]

If I pick up 8 this year I wont have to worry about the continuation board til I am over 20 though.....hope this is the year.

Gib

 

[Dusten]

Gibs, I hope so too, I also hope this is my year for E7. I really dont want to be a 14-15 year first...

 

[Shane361]

Where as I am a mineman...I am also over 15....crazyyy.

 

[blue boss]

glad I have 250 days left in the navy

623 left for me, but I am not counting.

 

[Dusten]
