why would you wanna be an Intel officer if you can be an NFO??? that might be the stupidest thing i've heard in my life. take NFO.
I don't think vette was being serious about the DOR thing. When I was in API it seemed like 80% of the DOR's, attrites, etc ended up with intel or IW. That may have been his point. I hope that was what he was trying to say anyways.![]()
I would, in your case, go NFO and attempt a redesignation after your first tour.
IMO the DOR route in API would be utter crap. However, the redesignate is not a bad option either. I would, in your case, go NFO and attempt a redesignation after your first tour. However, that's because I am a little biased wrt swo/aviation.
Do I need to finish 4 years of SWO, or only recieve my Officer of the Deck pin before requesting to be re-designated?
NFO = longer training pipeline and longer commitment = longer wait to re-designate to the community of her choice.
BTW, the added benefit of SWO - redesignate is that you will have a real warfare pin which will be good for reputation/career.
But...if she goes NFO, she's likely to see error of her ways and decide to stay in the cockpit having Intel types support her and have a bit of fun along the way. In certain communities, you'll be heavily engaged with Intel side of the house and paid better. Can SWO community make same claim?
