What is an LDO?

An LDO is a prior enlisted officer who was at a minimum an E-6 who was eligible for the Chief's exam. LDOs are commissioned to do a specialized job similar to their enlisted rate. Perfect example is an SK being an LDO in the supply corps. I don't know about the unrestricted lines, but in the Maintenance community, there's alot of LDOs and CWOs.
 
Hey not-even-a-middie, how is that an oxymoron? An Officer who came up through the enlisted ranks was prior enlisted. Of course, you're not even in the Navy yet. As for why someone would be a CWO vice an LDO, worry about graduating college first.

Preceding in importance or value: a prior consideration.
 
Dude, relax, seriously, it was a joke. Get it, enlisted officer is an oxymoron. I didn't say it didn't make sense. You need to chill.

So an LDO needs a college degree whereas a CWO does not, is this the difference?

And no, I am allowed to and will continue to ask questions. One learns and betters oneself by asking questions. So instead of passing around reputation points because I asked questions, do the intelligent and mature thing and just answer them.
 
Okay, enlisted officer is the oxymoron. Look back at your post all star, you quoted "Prior Enlisted Officer". Nice job. LDOs don't need college degrees.
 
Nice try on the negative rep-point frcabot. What's the matter, feel bad that you made an ass out of yourself? Don't feel bad, I do it all the time.
