Hello, all. I am interested in applying to be a Navy Reserve Public Affairs Officer.
I looked into active duty a few years back when I was first graduating with my bachelors, so I'm a little familiar with all this... but not too much. Back then I was a little confused because a recruiter I spoke with said that PAOs attended OIS and not OCS. Which one is it? And is this only for the active duty component or would this also be a path for a reservist who's not directly commissioned?
I would like to apply for a DCO slot, as I think my civilian credentials (including a masters degree in telecommunications and TV show hosting experience) are sufficient. Are there any sites where I can find information regarding acceptance rates, dates, quotas, etc?
I am 29 and have brief military experience in the AF. My understanding is that priors have anywhere from a 2 to 6 year commitment...?
Also, I'm not totally familiar with the reserve system. My civilian job lends itself to a lot of location changes around the country. If I was to be accepted into the reserves, would I need to stay with one station?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
