Rejected Takeoff

As I remeber it for the 737 during an abort
F/O call 60 kts decelerating
Stop assured:
Captain:Reverse thrust to idle by taxi speed.
F/o: Lowers flaps to 40 degrees
The thinking was to have the flaps in the evacuation posistion in anticipation the abort may lead to an evac. I am not uptodate wasnt aware it was changed. but i do remember some f/o's being overly anxious to complete their drill and running the flaps to 40 while still above 60 kts and yes the evacuation drill call for the F/O to select flaps to 40 which would have already been done.
I have lots of friends in the region and i am just sharing the info i consider credible, currently in the sand.
