"DING! Promoted"
On 5/29/2012 at 10:44:26 PM, elementry started the thread:
So, I made Petty Officer First Class (E-6). I missed it by .07 of a point last cycle and beat it by 6 points this time.
I anxiously await Monday when I get my next chevron tacked on.
Yay! Pay raises!

Congrats, man. I'm sewing on Tech Sergeant on Friday, so luckily I'll outrank you. Hooray for desert promotions and skipping out on lame ceremonies!

Congrats!

Congrats man. Who're you having pin you?
Msg #4: On 5/30/2012 at 11:16:16 PM, elementry replied, saying:
Chris, we'll both be the same rank, punk. ;)
As far as I know, the CO is supposed to do the frocking on Monday.

I was splitting hairs with date of rank, unless your effective date is also 1 June, in which case you'd outrank me due to more time in service. Of course, I'm just joking anyway, since I'd never really get into that much queep. Congrats again; it's pretty cool that the Navy lets you sew on so quickly. I had to wait 11.5 months!
Regardless...race you to Chief Petty Officer/Master Sergeant?

So they started out as flag boys?
Msg #8: On 5/31/2012 at 9:08:13 PM, elementry replied, saying:
Well, here's the kicker, Chris. I'll be 'frocked' on 01June, which starts my time in service as an E-6. BUT, I won't be paid for E6 until my number/increment comes up; and who knows when that will be.
AND THE RACE IS ON!

My dad's USMC discharge papers list him as a Master Sergeant even though he never got above PFC.

I made board again for Chief. Results will be out in a month so we'll see if I put it on.

Ostro - the more I hear about your dad, the more I want to know.
Elementry - good luck, man. Do you have an idea what your chances are?

You can ask anything you want, but I don't know if there's that much interesting to know.
