anyone know what the deal is with this program authorization for pilot and nfo? Says those with a 3.0+ gpa and a 7/7/7 ASTB are immediate selects for pilot. Immediate nfo select is 6/6/6.

It was signed 3 days ago. Pretty interesting.

What is old is new again..... they tried this briefly many years ago and it didn't work out well in the long run, it will be interesting to see how long this sticks around. This could have some good candidates getting the short end of the stick.

So to those who are being reviewed by the board, they will be negatively impacted by this?

The main thing that I took away from this is the 3.0 gpa requirement is a negative thing in my eyes because that can cut off a lot of strong candidates that might have high scores but have a gpa below that especially in STEM majors where the course load is normally much harder compared to a b.a degree and similar areas of studies where their gpa tend to be higher on average

I could be wrong but I'm interpreting his reply as: some candidates that would be a good fit with test scores lower than the required score for immediate selection will automatically be PRO Rec No. Such as some candidates that score 6/6/6 and apply for SNA with alot of flight time and a multitude of certifications rather than someone that scored 7/7/7 with a high GPA and little to no flight hours.

Flight hours has historically not been a good indicator of success in the program.

A more likely scenario is that you have those that are immediately selected, then of the remaining spots you have those that have high GPA's and scores but also had a waiver competing against each other, which results in very qualified people being passed over due to limited spots left.

I want to know if I’m reading this right. Does this “immediate select” mean that the Navy has the option to immediately select people who fit the criteria? Or does it mean that they will immediately select the people who fit the criteria?
