And which one should be addressed now and into the future tell us in the comment section below next? Congratulations to everyone who made chief this cycle and good luck as we head into phase 2 of CPO 365 For those that didn't make it Like me we talked the fleet master chief April Beldo and force master chief CJ Mitchell Who has veterans of multiple selection boards wanted to offer some advice to make next year your year? Don't get discouraged. I do believe that there is a process that all of us go through when we were not selected I wouldn't select it the first time up for every rank So there's this grieving process But once we get through that and we can't take it too long We need to get back into the game hit the deck running and start preparing for the next Season because it will be here before you know it. I'd like to add just a couple things one. It's okay to be upset It's okay to feel a little bit rejected, but again accept that challenge professionally and not personally The second thing I want to say is when it comes up for going up for chief to quote Bill Parcells You are who your record says you are make sure you have a good record It's a fact however you represent yourself and your record is the sailor that you are and the last thing And I can't go much farther without mentioning this is you should be studying for that cheese test right now We can't talk about the board or preparing a package unless you pass the cheese test and our selection board eligible So as you're working on your package keep working and studying for that test to the full interview is on Navy live Both fleet and force share their experience about what the board is looking for and what you can do now Check it out in other chief news the Navy formally established the command senior chief as a rating This transitions command senior chiefs officially from being a leader within their rating to being a command leader currently sailors Have the option to apply for the conversion, but going forward it will be automatic for those sailors selected as command senior chiefs Finally the nav admin with additional guidance on the expansion of maternity leave from six weeks to 18 weeks is released Check out the Navy specific details on MPC dot navy dot mill Finally, we're gonna answer some of the questions We're getting on the Navy's fitness program changes next episode. So keep them coming for the chief of naval personnel. I'm gonna soon only for Brizio Thanks for watching
