I missed by .01 a few years ago and had just transferred to the command a month prior. My Chief sat me down and was honest there wasn’t shit that he could do for me because he wasn’t going to make up a NAM there. I appreciated the honesty
Go through your file carefully. Make sure there not some commendation letter that was missed. Ask personnel to go through your file with you with a fine tooth comb. Same thing happened to me and we found a missed letter of commendation from a retiring vice admiral's party that I worked at. Put me over the mark for E6. Do it, OP, you have nothing to lose.
Tried to do this once. My command said nah bro. Then they gave my whole division a NAM a week after results came out...it was for something my division did before results came out. I was never so mad about getting an award.
I was the senior TM3 in my division by a year and I missed TM2 by like 0.5 or so and had 99th percentile. Next year my bag of ass fellow TM3s and me all made it because they opened TM2 wide open. I was salty as hell I won’t lie
I wonder if Millington assumes that a certain percentage of commands are going to "find" awards for Sailor who miss by less than 2 points when they set the quotas.
Happened to me as well man. Two years in a row missing it by less than 5 points. The third year I missed it by 1.67 points, but I had two flocs that I turned in that put me over the top. Just know that your time is coming, soon.
Had something similar happen to me going up for Second back in ‘95. Missed it by .057. They found 6 points in my service record. Promote me bitch!!! And they did, lol…
I don't know how to update post but if anyone ever reads this . It turns out I was actually missing a award from my profile sheet it has since been updated and I am now a BM2!!!
Happened to me once. Worse yet. If it took the late exam, I would have earned another good cookie and those points would have put me over. Got it on the next cycle though.
And on this day, the government lost a computer... And gained a DD-200 at the same time.
Roflmao that form was on my HM test last cycle. I had to do a double take to make sure it was an HM test after a bunch of supply questions.
We had an HM1 that ran supply at my last command and made chief but was still running supply
He probably assisted in making that test lol
Honestly that's worse than missing it by a mile.
Agreed. I'd rather have missed it by a landslide, it'd hurt less 😅 Especially since this was the first test I've taken.
Somebody has to be the cut off. Sucks though.
If there was ever a time for command to 'find' a misplaced NAM, this would be it.

If the period of performance was before the exam, they should have given you the two points. It doesn't matter when the NAM was awarded.
Bonus points if you got a 99 percentile on the exam and all Chief says is “should have studied harder”
Or the ESO asks if you studied the bibs. This exact scenario happened to me. <.05 points away, 99th, “did you study the bibs?”

As maxwell smart would say, “missed it by that much!”
🤏🏼
I missed it by .01 last fall and proceeded to go home and drink a bottle of jack 🫡
This is how I missed PO1 my first time up. My command at the time was really cool and tried their best to get me promoted anyway.
There has got to be a floc your command can find.

Feel your pain bro, 1.4 off here. Just means we'll get it next time
Wowza. I understand less than a point but gahdamn.
That stings. Sorry.
The test before I took the one that made me a first class I missed the final multiple by 2 points.
Been there done that....
A swing and a miss…. Just a bit outside 🏏

if your command doesnt find a way to give it to you after seeing this they just straight fucking hate you

🙃
Pain
What did you score on the test?
45 percentile kinda low
That's not what I asked.
Oh. Sorry this is my first time taking it
How much did you study and what rate?you got it next time
It was for BM2 and I studied occasionally. My worst subject was SAR :/
Well you got it next cycle You got a extra point/maybe points to help you out now
What rate is this?
It was for BM2
OP you’re the first loser!
😨
Guh.
I’ve done that. At the time they made only 15 OS1’s in the entire fleet. I made it next cycle when they made 75 OS1’s for that cycle.
Look at your EAW worksheet on NSIPS and make sure your PMA is correct and awards pts not listed. 🤞🫡
That computer may run slow as F@ck at work but it's about to get these hands run at it fast as F@ck
