Hot Dog that is good news.
looks like I'll have to sew on my crows while we're u/w.

NOT good news for me...was within 10 on the sup list, now looks like i'll be waiting another 4-5 months (60 something on the s.w. list). July was not a good month!! First the SRB and now this...

Well, there were more than a dozen folks on the supplemental that didn't take the SWE. Some of them towards the top, you are better off then them!

Remember folks - no guarantees until the cuts come out, so for now, plan on taking the Nov SWE until you see you are above the cuts

I guess that may raise another question... at least for me.
When are these cuts expected to come out? Or, better yet will they start advancing off the list before these cuts are published?

Brechty

should be in a month or so and yes, the very next advancements should be off the SWE

Ouch. Sucks to be "that guy"...
Thats why everyone shoulda taken it.

Well ask yourself, would you want "that guy" who didn't take their SWE becuase they thought they were going to advance off the Supp list... to be your supervisor...... Not taking the SWE becuase your on the Supp list sounds like a poor judgement call and poor desission making to me. Wouldn't want "that guy" to be my supervisor!!

first the SRB, now this.....just another good reason to get out...

Wow. Just, wow. Noone ever said advancement was supposed to be easy.

OS1 Ski

Wow! So if I am not mistaken, that make almost ONE FULL YEAR to advance off that SWE list!
Someone tell me I'm NOT mistaken

You are not mistaken. We probably still will not clear the list.

MC good afternoon/evening,
how long or how many people do you expect to advance off the MAY 07 SWE with the next 8-10months?
thanks in advance

If the SRB has any affect on if you stay in or not I'd have to say your priorities are in the wrong place... Go ahead and get out, it makes advancement easier for those who deserve it!! Just my two cents... Spend it how you want...

This list, as with every May SWE list should be in effect until the Nov list starts, which is usually 1 July of the next year. Don't know how many will advance, but I just don't think we will go all the way through it. We will have ot see what happens with the IS selections.

The SRB was an incentive to look forward to! my priorities are just different than yours......im most likely will get out and hopefully do something better.......so thanks for the two cents....

Ski... I never though it would happen, but I AGREE with you!!

You all really crack me up sometimes!

Well I say...

You're only staying in for the SRB or easy advancements... and that's not happening anymore?

Then don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya on your way out!
