what do you tell someone who has been passed over for a military promotion they deserved could you address this yep so part of it is what we just talked about what do you do when you get passed over cool why did something and it’s also covered in I think there’s the wall I know there’s a literal chapter inside leadership strategy and tactics which is what to do when you’re when you don’t get promoted that’s that’s the actual name of the chapter when you’re not chosen page 160 boom there it is when you are not chosen and we cover it on the podcast so what you do is you go and you say hey boss I know there’s opportunities get promoted I know I didn’t get promoted I know there must be some shortfalls that I have can you help me indicate what those sort Falls are cool so that’s that’s and I’ll just give a factual there’s the officer commissioning program that I got picked up for mm-hmm it was called the seaman to Admiral program it was a highly selective program they took 50 sailors from the entire Navy and there’s no 250 000 something people sailors in the Navy they took 50 and the first year that I put in for it I did not get selected I got actually I got selected as an alternate mm-hmm which was as they say almost worse yeah because you don’t you know like you get nothing you get to smell it yeah you get to smell it you don’t get to touch and you don’t get to taste it so it was not good well it was good because I was like okay I’m close but so but I didn’t get it I didn’t get it and what did I do assessed and said what can I do better and worked harder and the next year I got it mmm so if you don’t get promoted because you deserved it maybe you didn’t deserve it and if you did deserve it you’ll get it next time and instead of saying you deserved it why not look at it and say okay what did I not do to make myself the best absolute best candidate that they could not question needed to get this promotion mmm instead we’re saying I deserved it someone else got what does that doing blaming the boss blade in the selection process blaming all these other things that you cannot control but if you take ownership of it and say you know what okay I didn’t get promoted there must be some things that I can do better there’s the answer mm-hmm own it ask give give me some feedback please or do I need to make this happen and then implement
