Found out some interesting news the other day...
Apparently P-Cola holds back some pilot slots/nfo slots/swo/etc for those that are awaiting news about Nuke positions... That way those guys don't get screwed into their 3rd choice or something just because they didn't get a Nuke spot.
The selection for Nukes is different that the rest of us b/c there is an interview portion. Therefore, you could, in theory, walk into the interview with a 4.0 in Chem and Mech Engineering and totally fail the interview and NOT get a Nuke spot. How fair is it to then turn around and say, "Okay Mr. Smarty pants, you just got your 3rd choice b/c the Admiral didn't like what you had to say and all the rest of the slot have already been given out..."??
Long story short, this may be part of the reason some Mids haven't found out yet about getting pilot or otherwise...
