Who would I email and how would I go about it? Does it go through the recruiter or is it a direct email? What kind of details would I express?

I’m in the same situation and would also like to know how this is done.

I did not request NFO, have zero interest in NFO and, despite many years of pursuing a career in the Navy will likely drop it and go civilian if there’s no recourse. If I were interested in anything else it would have been naval intelligence and I didn’t request that either.

Y'all got some shady recruiters man. I feel like officer recruiters don't even face the same kind of pressure that the enlisted ones do, so I don't even know why they would try to pull something like this. It just doesn't seem right that you only apply for pilot and the board just comes out of left field and is like "AKSHUALLY, you'd make a better NFO".

For those accepted this board, congrats.

I am looking at retaking the ASTB and reapplying the next board. Also trying to beef up my package by taking some flight lessons and redoing my motivational statement. For those that were accepted, what did your motivational statements look like? Also, do you have any recommendations on what else I can do to make myself look better? I know ASTB is number one but how much does flight experience help?

Thanks in advance.

Still waiting on my recruiter to text/call me back, has anyone who was selected for FY24 heard any kind of date from their recruiter?

Talked to my recruiter, FY-24 is firm but it is possible to get moved up or swap with someone, just unlikely. Plenty of time to get in better shape and sort out my affairs I guess, the planes aren’t going anywhere.

No I would not. I would resent every pilot I saw or flew with.

I am also in the same situation. I’m probably going to end up taking it , because denying a commission is kinda a death sentence.
