Trying to gain a little perspective on the list. Coming off a priority 5 as a (soon to be) boot E-7. I'd love to stay in New England afloat, but seeing that as a dismal chance (unless I go on another 270) . What is everyone else looking for?

87's and 110's

87's & 110's D7

Anything in the D5 area

Well I talked with the detailer and he said by the time he got to the pri 3, that D5 most likely will be closed up by all the 1's and 2's. Not that I wouldnt ask for the positions but made me look else where.

Finally making Chief after all these years. Looking to pick in the Oregon and Washington area (D13). Mainly 87's, 210's, and a vessel called the "BLUEBELL" (Not crossing my fingers though!)

I have (4) tours on Cutters already and have heard that the detailer sometimes makes people with a "little bit" of Sea-time go to land. I hope not.

I was looking to stay in D1...but the detailer told me that out of 17 jobs there are 50+ looking to do the same so "good luck". so now I'm looking else-ware

GREAT STATE OF TEXAS

Freeport is not available and CCTI is not until next year in the spring, sometime around March or April. Seems they only have CCTI twice a year at St. Louis. I was the only one that had interest in it for this Fall but no one else was interested in going through CCTI, so it was canceled till spring. CCTI is optional as to the CPO Acadmey is going to be mandatory from what I have been hearing, it's go or put your letter in.

Take Care and I will let you know when I hear of something.

So whats everyones picks only 146 to choose from

Well I put down 12 cutters, Ranging from the Mallet to the Gallatin. Mostly black hulls with 4 white hulls.

I put in for 87's, 110's, 225's, Sectors, Sta's, and River Tenders.. I will probably see a list though

I am looking to stay in Alaska, perfer to do another land tour, since I've got 9 yrs U/W, but I did put 3 D17 cutter jobs on there.
Good luck to all

Which D-17 cutters did you put down?

I put down Sycamore, Hickory, Sycamore.

I put billets all over the place. 87s and 110s all along the east and west coast (no gulf or OUTCONUS). I put land jobs in the same areas as well (50 picks all told). I've got to imagine I can get one of them. Good luck to everyone, it's just about time to settle in and wait...
