[QUOTE="Nelson Atwell, post: 623930, member: 59102"] Grumpy, No good news this morning. They handed out two stripes in my office and I didn't get one. I went to lunch with my fiancee and she bought, as a consolation for being passed over again (I was #2 non-selectee the year before last, and #3 non-selectee last year). I discuss with her my idea about getting out to be with her and my daughter permanently. She understands, but thinks I should give it one more shot next year. I get back to the office, and have an e-mail congratulating me, from a former co-worker who is now the functional manager for my career field at one of the MAJCOMs. I immediately call her, but she is at lunch. While I am waiting for her to call back, another e-mail comes in. This one is from a retired CMSgt I used to work for. I go to tell my Captain what has happened. He walks over to MPF and no one has access to the system that needs to be checked... Long story short -- I MADE IT!! Somehow my name was not passed down from the Wing to our Group. I didn't know anything for certain until the Wing Commander sent out a e-mail congratulating all of the selectees at 1400 hrs. That gave me only a few minutes to call a few folks, go to an ATM for money to pay for the promotion ceremony at the club, and beat feet to the Base promotion ceremony. Line #657 -- it looks like I'll be wearing SNCO stripes in Aug/Sep. :wub: [/QUOTE]
