Just got off the phone with my recruiter who said that NFO slots are full until 2011. Has anyone heard this from their recruiter? My recruiter is pushing pretty hard for SWO while I am leaning towards NFO, Intel, PAO- all of which I know are competitive and quickly filling up...

He's more than likely right. The aviation pipeline is full right now and clogged as well and they're looking to cut some of us who are down here already, so it only makes sense.

That doesn't mean don't go for NFO if thats what you want. Your recruiter most likely means that NFO slots are full until the next fiscal year, which is true. People who are getting Finals select letters now are getting slots where they would graduate OCS in December and January. It just means a bit more of a wait, but you should be used to that by now.

Your recruiter may be correct, it's hard to say. I'll say this: the wait for NFOs to class up for API right now is 12 weeks, pilots are up to a year. This is due to overmanning as well as mx issues with the T-34C (NFOs fly Texan IIs, so this helps our wait time reduction.) The back log of stashed Ensigns is only going to increase. Two reasons for this are a)flooding in Millington has slowed PERS-43 (aviation detailers) down big time and b) NROTC and Academy are getting ready to graduate. BUT if you want to fly, DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! I had to fight to keep my designator. Best of luck. Work harder than your peers and you will come out ahead.
