I will admit that I am not as educated on SWO as I feel like I need to be but from what I have gathered it seems more appealing to me. Can I ask what makes you say that about SWO?

since my recruiter left in may to go back to the fleet i'm now dealing with the NRD processor. No results posted for him yet here in Houston. Hoping he gets them today so I can stop with the anxiousness and just find out already!!

I would say it's perceived as a lot more hard work with none of the sex appeal of being a pilot. Personally if I couldn't be an NFO my second choice is SWO, so don't let other people scare you away from it.
He was just trolling us. there's a message a few later where he inserted "yet" at the end.

Pro rec Y! Just got back from Europe to a bunch of voicemails from my OR. Thanks for the help of everyone on here. He said I could anticipate (not expect) the FINSEL in 1-3 months. Anyone hear similar? Congrats to all other selects and stay encouraged for anyone who missed this board!

Selected for SNA! What a huge burst of energy I just felt! I've been working on this since last May, but had to swap recruiters and it backed me up. So excited, and congrats to everyone else!

The 16th is past the date that we were told for the June 30th board. I don't recall the exact date, but I "think" it was June 5th. Most likely, your kit wasn't seen at this board but your recruiter should be able to confirm/deny when he or she looks in CIRIMS. I'd expect the next board sometime after the beginning of the new fiscal year that begins on October 1st.

Tampa has their names too. My buddy in Orlando is still waiting for his call, but perhaps his NRD just hasn't checked yet. But I assume all of Florida is good to go now.

If they took my wings today I'd still go SWO tomorrow. I feel the trend is self evident though. The SWOs transitions I've met on flight school and friends from OCS have more or less shared the sentiment that SWOS are over worked, don't get much sleep or free time, the community doesn't look out for one another. This varies with commands of course, but I'd ask around before turning down a brown boot job.
