Congratulations to all the CPO Selectees! Remember, you only get ONE season so soak it up and take advantage of the opportunity.\n\xa0\nDamon and Damo are joined once again by CMDCS Aaron Paul. Damo and Aaron were both members of the current CPO Selection boards and they are here to tell the tale. Damo\u2019s visit to Millington started out pretty eventful as a storm caused a blackout on the base and all over town. He rushed through the story as he recaps his time in Memphis, highlight restaurants, and the foods that he ate. The guys then get into sitting the Selection board, breaking down the process to the best of their recollection. They discuss their pros and cons regarding the Selection Board Process. What should you be thinking about as you\u2019re planning for your next evaluation report? Is the Career Summary Letter necessary to be submitted with your LTB? Should you split your LTB to give the panel member an easier grading process? \u201cSustained Superior Performance\u201d vs \u201cEarly Promote;\u201d Damo asks Aaron for his opinion of which one holds more weight. Who made Chief within 5 years of going through Mast and being awarded a punishment? Is the \u201c5 Year Penalty Box\u201d a myth? Damon asks if is it possible to give feedback to every \u201cNon-Select.\u201d These topics and more are covered in this episode.
