 So what we've got here actually is that the three shore finalists and the two sea finalists and we're going to announce one winner tomorrow Although they're all winners at this level You know, we don't often use the word winner, but you know it best describes You know what we're going to be doing tomorrow We're going to be selecting the representative for all of us naval forces Europe and Africa as our shore sailor and then one sea sailor So we have two competing for sea and three competing for shore And as you can imagine all the first-class petty officers of all of our commands Across Europe and Africa and the steps that it takes to you know in your division and your department and your command And then what we do is we take all of those command entries for those that fall under US Naval Forces Europe and Africa and then we have an independent panel of five master chiefs that don't have a dog in the fight if you will and We give them those packages and I step out of the room and they have a few hours and I feed them pizza and you know pocket coffee and and Give them a few hours to go through these packages. Now. These are seasoned master chiefs who are you know looking At the best of the best across Europe and Africa and you can imagine how hard that is to kind of you know peel through these packages and their Accomplishments and we do look at the the last five years of evals and that was a change to our upnav instruction a few years back because What we amended in that was the look for chief petty officer because What happens from here is the next step is the final step for the Navy for the selection of the Navy's Sailor of the Year for sure and then the Pacific Fleet and US Fleet forces command have the sea sailor So our sea finalists will go on to fleet forces commands final competition as a Automatic finalist at the four-star level from our four-star Our shore sailor will go into DC Washington DC and compete with four other representatives from You know around the world Pacific Fleet Fleet forces NPT&E Upnav and they will compete for the sailor of the year for sure for the United States Navy So whoever selected at the next level the final levels will be promoted not fracked Promoted to chief petty officer At a ceremony in July So that's why we made the amendment to our instruction a few years ago to look at the last five years of their evals as well Because that's what we would do at a chief's board. So we just want to make sure that you know If they could pass that you know up from the seasoned master chief look and review at a chief's board level to at least get The next step to to be discussed then you know, we got it going on and now we look at the rest of the package and these five First classes before us right now in the studio Represent the best of the best across Europe and Africa.
