Oy you're just a regular comedian aren't you? :wink:

Regardless, since my first assignment won't be USCGC Chase Hall, it's got to be better than my current assignment! :biggrin:
 
LITS, SamAcad, Luigi... I'm heading down!

Wish us all luck and keep your fingers crossed for 2013!!

Good Luck, really hoping you get your 1st choice, can't wait to hear the reports later.

Enjoy, the bar closes at 630 (I do hope it reopens after the billets are released).

Congrats STN!!! So glad you got your first choice. :thumb:

The excitement of tonight makes me really look forward to my own billet night and anxious on seeing if I'll get my first choice or not...

Enjoy it!

Congrats on getting your 1st choice. :thumb:

Finish line is in sight, but it's not over yet -- keep in mind that there were a few from last year who made it to Billet Night but not to commissioning.

Now on to a safe (and your last) Spring Break, enjoy!

:cool:
 
Any chance Objee or STN can post the billet list, as is tradition (without names of course)?

Oh Sam... you think I wrote them all down!? :p

You gotta ask Objee for that one, but I know they're not even releasing the billet list to Cadet Admin to begin cutting orders for at least mid-week next week in order to ensure there aren't any problems with the list like there were last year...
 
Or I can have really great classmates who wrote it all down.

So!

9 people went to Sectors (4 Response, 5 Prevention)
20 people went to Flight School
195 went underway (149 DWO, 46 EOIT)
 
For those of us not so in the know,

can you explain what 'Sectors' and 'Underway' mean, and their subsections you put in parentheses please? Thank you. Good luck, and congratulations to all.

Sector = shore-based unit
Response = incident management, search & rescue, pollution & law enforcement managment
Prevention = inspections, regulations, investigations, manages ice breaking and navigation aids.

Underway = cutter-based unit
DWO = Deck Watch Officer
EOIT = Engineering Officer In Training

Just to add a little more info, while all sectors are shore-based units, not all shore-based units are sectors.


Think of a sector as a break down in the organization....

In the Coast Guard....

Headquarters is in Washington, D.C.

Below HQ you have two "Areas", basically commands that split the country in half, Atlantic Area (LANTAREA) and Pacific Area (PACAREA).

Below Areas you have districts. LANTAREA districts are D1, D5, D7, D8 and D9 (there were other numbers are one time, like D2 and D3, but they would combined with other districts, but not renumbered). PACAREA districts are D11, D13, D14 and D17.

Below districts you have sectors (too many to name).

If you're going to a shore-based unit first tour, it's a sector, however other shore-based tours could have you at a district, area or HQ too. And just because one works for another doesn't mean you will work your way up from sector to district to area to HQ... it's just how it's organized.


Now, underway units (cutters) work for one of those organizational units.....

For instance, I was one a 210' cutter my first tour. My cutter, CGC VIGOROUS, was an "area unit". Our orders and schedule came from LANTAREA. Smaller cutters, like a 110' might work for a district (I forget if 87's are sector or district units).

Sorry it's all pushed together...not sure why the formatting gets lost when I post it.

Thanks Objee! Do you know if admissions compiles data on where people go, based off major? I think it might be interesting to see what majors have most frequently gotten flight school or sectors since 2004, for instance.

We don't, but we don't really compile any data related to the Corps of Cadets...maybe Institutional Research?

I can't go back that far, but here's the data from 2010 and 2012 (I don't know the majors of the 2011 group, but there were 20 selected for flight training).

2010:

EE = 3
CE = 1
ME = 1
MGMT = 1
ORCA = 1
NAME = 0
GOVT = 0
MES = 0

2012:

EE = 0
CE = 3
ME = 8
MGMT = 1
ORCA = 4
NAME = 3
GOVT = 2
MES = 3
