That's a thing? I thought there was zero path from NFO to pilot whatsoever. What does that even look like and what does that do to your service commitment? I vastly prefer to become a pilot, but at my age a single rejection for pilot might force me to apply NFO the second time around, so knowing there's a slim outside chance of going pilot in the future if I go that route is interesting to hear.

It is a thing but you can't count on it, too many variables, if a person takes NFO with the intention on becoming a Pilot later they are setting themselves up for probable disappointment.

For any AD that have FY-24, I talked to Paul Celestin and he said it’s just a hold over until your CO provides a release date. Which means get in touch with them to make sure they send a response email

Sorry I'm late to the conversation I was on the ship, but has there been any confirmation on what the fy24 means for our ocs date? Seems odd the 09 leaves in Jan then the rest have to wait until fy24.

@Shheen So I’m AD and my class date is 09-23 but I haven’t gotten any orders yet. Is it possible that this is just a hold date like what you previously wrote about?

If you are MM2, then the OCS date would coincide with your PRD from your current command. This most likely means your CO gave the release date of when you would normally PCS.

Im still kinda taking it in, I probably will. I might try NFO to pilot in the future if timing permits but idk honestly I certainly don’t want to decline a commission if there’s a possibility of me getting barred from getting one again.

My interviews were with NFO’s who were all Captains. They said it’s a little easier to make rank since NFO’s have a little more time to take on additional roles like department head etc. that’s good of your goal is to lead Sailors in some way shape or form. I’d say take it and run with it. You never what life has in store my man.

What's yall's thoughts on flight experience to help out the application? It looks like 70% of the SNA's that were selected had flight experience.
