going on deployment. take it easy everybody.

im about to take the E5 exam for the second time in march. ive been in just about 3 years now. ill be gone for about 5~6 months, then ill be back for 5~6 months, then i go on deployment to the west coast theatre for another 5~6 months.
and in between the two ill be back on the ship for a month or two re-qualifying for everything.

anyway. im out the door.
E5 in 3 years? It takes us 3 years time in grade just before you go up to E4...

 
yep. would have been 2.5 years, but the rest of the guys that took the test had award points, time in rate points, and evaluation points - all of which i dont have because this was my first test and i have not been in long enough to receive any awards. most people who advance in my rate take the test 3~4 times... but i did score in the 89th percentile of the entire amount of E4's who took the E5 exam in my rate - but it was the first time i took it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

so i have a very good idea what the test is like and i should make E5 this time around. **** i have to leave tonight.

 
Be safe sir. Be sure and return all in one piece. Hopefully you won't see any action.

A friend of mine is in the army and he is most likely getting deployed again to Afganistan. Not a good feeling at all when he told me.

 
Really grateful for you serving our country no matter what the descision is.

Please return home safely.

I will paypal you 1 beer monies upon your return.

CA.com on a bomb would be pretty pricelessThank you and good luck
