Question:
So, the Army prepositions the list, probably to allow the chain of command time to double check that the people on the E7 list are still eligible.

The official release date is about a week after they preposition the list.

But...

Have you seen the list, had someone check the list for you or in any way been given information that you would have not known until the actual release of the names if they did not preposition the list.

This is anonymous of course, and I was just wondering just how secret the prepositioning is.

Choices:
Yes, I have some knowledge of the contents of the list
Nope, I don't know nothing
The what? What is "the E7 list"??

 

If you ask the right people, you can get the entire list OR ask someone to check a name or two.

My brother-in-law was looked at this year and his family now knows ahead of time that he made it.

Besides, have you ever tried logging on to HRC website at 0730 EST on the release date? Good luck!

seen the list and alot of people have the same seq number. whats up with that?

I was just wondering, not because I need to know if I am on it, but mainkly because there is so much hype about how it is "prepositioned" and you have to wait until the 21st to see it.

But.... it seems that everyone already knows before it is officially released if they made it or not.

I guess I just find it funny and was wondering how widespread the knowledge of the list before it's official release was.

Each MOS has there own sequence numbers.

yes i know they do but there are a few on there with the same SEQ number in the same MOS

Which MOS? I'll check

How easy is the access to this pre-list? My husband's BN says they don't have access to it; I find that hard to believe.

I used to have access to IWS but with the change at division level i dont have it back under the new one yet

Hey I have the list right now!

I make great oatmeal raisin cookies...

send the list here then cuz my battalion says they don't have access to it yet. Just another hiccup to go along with transformation i guess.....

This board is beginning to look like a crock. It's who you know, you'll be promoted based on performance, not potential, if you deployed, you'll at least get looked at.
I'm going on 15 years TIS, 4 TIG, have a bachelor's degree (from a university that has a physical campus and is part of a state university system - not knocking the eArmyU guys), ANCOC, been an AIT instructor, been a drill, and currently a platoon sergeant.
It's like "SSG WHO?" when it came to my name being put on the list. I know I had ONE not-so-nice NCOER, but I have the ones that show I was a successful (read: I was NEVER under ANY investigation or had my name come across the BN CO's desk in a negative manner) drill sergeant - including winning brigade Drill Sergeant of the Month board, an operations sergeant, and an instructor.
But a guy who was in ANCOC with me with almost half my years got picked up. He was a drill, but the thing that put him over the top (in MY mind) was that he had been deployed.
Before anyone says crap, I was never under any stop-loss or stop-movement orders even after I reenlisted a month before 9/11 (and my old unit at Campbell ended up deploying about 3-6 months after my report date, in fact stop-loss/movement didn't kick in until April), nor was I denied DS school because I was to be PCSed to a deploying unit.
If you want E-7, get deployed. If you're lucky, you'll be able to pin it on. With my luck, it'll be posthumonous.

Just my two cents to start some $#!+

Oh, and to answer the question:
I did see the pre list.

Your BN shouldn't have access to it. Sorry not sending the list to anyone. I like my plush job here at ...... yeah right like I'd tell you where I work!
