My old Division Officer was dropped from BUDS and got to choose IW.  So there is always that route. .  Seriously though, it's been a few years since that happened.  I did just find out I can re-enlist in the Navy and keep my rank.  I'm up for 1st class, and honestly miss it after having taught English, doing some traveling, and re-thinking some things.  I mainly got out cause I wanted to be free like a bird for a few years.  I can say I miss the professionalism and the opportunities, and the benefits of working as a linguist.   Either way I want to be Navy again, sooner than later.
