DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

BR549 - So if he took the advancement, and he is already an E4, then you'd look in the E5 section.

Comment by abbyblue on November 17, 2011 at 2:38pm: reservists get thiers befor active duty :)

Comment by abbyblue on November 17, 2011 at 3:21pm: Petty Officer Advancement Results on Schedule for Release

WASHINGTON -- Cycle 204 results of active duty advancement for E-4, E-5 and E -6 Sailors, is expected after the Thanksgiving holiday break.

"Traditionally, results are released between mid-November and mid-December. Our goal is to have this year's results posted by the end of next week," said Fleet Master Chief, Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (AW/SW/SCW) Scott Benning. "Advancement results will continue to show our commitment to our force by advancing our top performers."

Comment by BunkerQB on November 17, 2011 at 5:24pm: Oh, Emma. LOL.

Comment by Craig on November 17, 2011 at 9:39pm: Abby are you sure about the reservist getting it before active duty? I remember that their advancement test was always after ours. They used the same exact test, so when they would come to our division for their training we'd pump them up with all the questions that were on the test. Everyone that came to our division always scored extremely high since they had most of the questions. (or as we called it, "study sheets".

Comment by Pat on December 8, 2011 at 2:31pm: No, Lady Hamilton, I have not lost interest in my son's career, I was just busy watching the Navy Advancement site on facebook...I actually knew my son's result about an hour b-4 he did because the sub was in the process of returning to port and did not have access to the info until just b-4 they docked. Proud mama of a new PO1 select.

Comment by Pat on December 8, 2011 at 2:33pm: The Reserve List hit the street a couple of days in advance of the active duty.

Comment by MonkeyBoysMom on November 19, 2014 at 3:50pm: Does one have to have a goggle account in order to view it because when I click on it, it's saying there is nothing to view?
