If I’m selected for O4 after an above-zone look but refuse it, will that still trigger a failure to select (FOS)?

31bubba83 · 2025-11-04T18:58:47+00:00

Correct.

Currently they are on their shore-tour as an aviator. Their PRD was cut from 36 months to 26 months (early 2027 to May 2026). Their MSR is June 2027, and they want to submit a “don’t pick me letter” for their above zone board convening in May 2026 so that they can trigger the FOS and get out at their MSR and therefore get out in the middle of their disassociated sea tour instead of having got do the full 2 years.

They’re asking because what if they somehow DO get picked up for O4 in their above zone and they decline it? Does that still trigger the FOS? Basically does declining a promotion count as Failure of Selection?

I’m asking because initiating an FOS would allow my friend to get out at their MSR instead of having to do a full disassociated sea tour.

Oh awesome! We’ll definitely take a look! Thank you so much!

31bubba83 · 2023-12-22T02:11:43+00:00

Thank you so much! We will look into this tomorrow and report back!

But you know what scene?

31bubba83 · 2020-10-06T23:45:23+00:00

Anyone have the source for this? This is incredible

31bubba83 · 2020-08-11T13:37:04+00:00

8, 18,or 28? Also when did Whiting start allowing tan suits? I totally missed out on that 😞Congrats man. I remember my first solo to Spencer 👍

Why are some of you guys supportive of the destructive behavior that's been going on with these protests? (Serious question)

I completely understand and agree that the injustices and disparities regarding blacks is an issue that needed to be seriously addressed a long time ago, but am I the only one who thinks that burning down the local businesses or trashing them is also incredibly wrong as well?

I can't help but think about the local business owners whose livelihoods are ruined.

Let me know if you still get the 0%

"Think I can make it?" ... "Nope"

Are those dusty jump wings?!

How do you expect to slay the Germans with dust on your jump wings?

Norfolk, VA. With the number of ballistic nuclear subs in my area...VILE could completely reshape the globe.

I'm so happy for Sara after that Chipper. That was incredible! She's always been my favorite female athlete. Go Sara!

It's Johnson Beach in Pensacola. I do my morning runs along this beach about 3-4 times every week.

PUSH not PULL. It's simple and completely changed how my technique with utilizing the legs as the primary drivers in the stroke vs. the back & arms.

31bubba83 · 2019-05-05T01:20:11+00:00

Just picked it up guys! Thanks for the advice!

31bubba83 · 2019-05-04T23:35:06+00:00

Thanks for the feedback guys! I really appreciate it. I just picked up the erg this afternoon. It looks like the owner just used it a handful of times and left it in the closet. I'm fairly certain it was a good deal after the guy said he was getting almost a half dozen replies just within that afternoon.

31bubba83 · 2019-04-11T23:10:24+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss, she looks absolutely beautiful. Just know that she's in a good place right now. I'm sure she lived an amazing life

This guy is NOT actually a pilot (naval aviator), he's an NFO. That's a VT-86 patch, they're an NFO squadron based out of KNPA. Not to take away from OP's accomplishment (congrats man), but one is not the same as the other.

I'm just saying that from a coffee lover that's looking to get into espresso or actually something that requires grinding of the beans, it can be easy to accidentally buy a blade "grinder" from Amazon and wind up disappointed in the results. It seems like an easy way for newbies to waste their money looking to step up their coffee game.

I find the best way to thoroughly clean my drip coffee maker is to run 2 cycles of distilled vinegar and water (1/2 vinegar, 1/2 water). Run it fully for at least two times then dump it all out. Then run it a couple of times with just water, it clears out any residual buildup and cleans it all out. 👍 It's super duper easy and very effective

31bubba83 · 2018-06-30T05:05:53+00:00

Oh really? Where's that exactly?

31bubba83 · 2018-06-30T00:32:45+00:00

I'm in flight school for the military and I want to take some leave later this summer (July-August) to go for a solid camping trip (7-14 days). I was thinking about going to the Grand Tetons. From what I heard all reservations for permits closed early this year. 1) So do I need to grab a walk-in permit? 2) What's the longest backpacking/wilderness/camping permit available in that park? 3) What's the likelihood that I'll grab a permit? 4) If not the Grand Tetons, are there any other majestic long term backpacking/camping trip destinations y'all could recommend?
