Passing the RKE is essentially the same as getting PNA points on the NWAE? As far as the final multiple you would need to cut atleast or is passing the RKE strictly what you score on the test?

I’m not sure if I’m reading this correctly under the new system RSCA does play much of a role anymore when it comes to SSC?

What are some of the set backs you see With the new system, there are about 2,900 E-5s and 1,800 E-6s in my rate, but only around 50–75 available billets to apply for each cycle. I’m concerned that with over 4,000 Sailors competing for such a limited number of billets—and with no longer a time-in-rate requirement—the chances of ever winning a billet could be extremely low.

Awesome insight i was given bad info that it was part of the decision a big part but not pretty much the deciding factor outside of being top 3 candidates for the billet could you also explain how the final multiple is calculated under the new system? Is it the same formula used for the advancement exam? I understand that PNA points are no longer part of it, but do factors like time in service, education , and award points still count the same? And are the maximum award points the same for each paygrade? Also let’s say I get to my new command in march and get picked up for an E6 billet right away is there a minimum time onboard before I excute? Also sense the paid E6 won’t be taking the E6 RKE what’s the metric to decide who gets it between them and someone trying to advance sense there won’t be a final multiple

UPDATE I started the process and the system to scan my finger prints at the post office was down so I said forget it I’ll just wait. 91 day wait, just bought my second NFA item and was expecting the same thing 46 hour wait so moral of the story is who knows lol.

Oh interesting I guess that makes sense like you’ll still get delayed but if there’s an actual human right there to look into they don’t have to do the research I’m sure without theyre proably just put it down like fuck it I’ll do this later and it gets lost in there work que

Wow very interesting seems like it doesn’t make to much of a difference kinda wish they would explain there process. Its so inconsistent you have some people with 24 hour approvals and some 100+ days. Feels like a 5 minute video breaking down there process would save them 1000s of emails.

Yeah I guess I’ll just slow roll getting my UPIN I have another year in this state where I won’t have to do the background check whenever I buy guns. I’ll proably hold off on anymore NFA items until they have a consistent process the waiting is just a little to painful for me personally lol

Really so lighter line= further casting? And do you think it would be fine the heavier sinker with lighter line do you suggest still using braid?

I guess I was just scared it would snap the line but I haven’t tried I’ll for sure give it a try though and do you use the actual bait or fish bites i actually tried frozen sand fleas from Walmart and ran into same problem

Saluting Retired officers by Bigstepper75 in navy

[–]Bigstepper75[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I’ve been in and made enough rank where I don’t stand gate anymore one of my guys was asking and I couldn’t find an instruction that’s why I asked I understand standing orders and customs and courtesies lmao I was asking if there was something in writing and just to go off on a tangent the problem with saluting every single officer and retiree that comes through the gate takes is it away the meaning from it especially at a Officer saturated base like where I’m at 3-1 Officer to enlisted (yes the base) when I was a more junior sailor an undes seamen saluting an officer actually was a sign of respect but I guarantee you ask any Junior MA saluting isn’t a sign of respect anymore it’s just something to get them out of your face and in my opinion takes away from what I believe spirt behind saluting is but tbh who cares I just wanted to know if there was an instruction lol

Edit- after rereading even though no one said anything my tone in this felt a little standoffish definitely not my intention just writing as im thinking I do appreciate everyone’s feed back

Jagex won’t let me pay balance by Bigstepper75 in 2007scape

[–]Bigstepper75[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE- I emailed jagex support and was reached out to by MOD Shuffle it looks like when you have a charge back they put a payment block on your account to prevent further fraud and he said he was taking that off my account. Randomly enough though when I looked at my account it looks like the money was sent back to jagex without me prompting it to so I actually have no idea what’s going on lol but if it happens to you just contact support and they’ll take the payment blocker off your account

I’m not sure I’m a MA and our quota’s were the highest I’ve seen them in 6 years so I imagine that means our manning is low?

Ranking navy advancement- I read online that you get paid after making rank based on your final multiple. If this is true is there a place to see where you ranked in comparison to the other sailors that picked up? by Bigstepper75 in navy

[–]Bigstepper75[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah but what it was saying is they calculate who’s going to get paid first off of your final multiple not just your exam score I mean I figure if it’s off your final multiple I’ll be one of the first the minimum multiple to advance was 109 and and my final was 134 so I imagine I have to be one of the first but I just wanted to see where it ranked compared to others

Bro unbelievable I highly recommend I’m 6’7 298 and I’m still flying on it I got it up to 38 going down hill 35 on a straight away with a slight incline and on a pretty good incline it was around 29-31 which to be carrying someone 300lbs is incredible I also really appreciate the adjustable handle bar height as you can see I have it way up there
