You may have nothing to worry about... I may not have pilot vision after all. After MEPS they sent me to see an ophthalmologist and I haven't found out officially that I'm okay to apply for SNA.

Does anybody know what an NFO does in retirement? I know pilots can fly. Can NFOs do so? There are so many threads, I don't know how to find that answer!
NFO's can do anything they want in retirement. I know a lot (including myself) that are test engineers at Pax. That means there is a possibility of flying. I know one who is hired on to be a civilian flight test NFO.
Honestly, I miss flying but did not fly for my last 6 years in the Navy. There is a lot more to do out there.

Sure they can....if they acquire the required licenses and flight time/experience on their own dime......

To quote a post almost three months old to get a cheap shot in on some guy you don't like... It's juvenile and unprofessional. No matter how professional you think you are.Pot, meet kettle.

I put in a package for Flying CWO and STA-21 NFO. With Flying applicants, what are they looking for? You guys have seen a lot of things and I was wondering how a guy on a ship with no flying experience whatsoever is looked at by a board. I have college with so pretty impressive maths. EPs etc, but how does that translate to me being a good pilot/NFO? Or any surface guy for that matter?

This is my first post and it may be a pretty obvious answer to a simple question so bare with the newbie.
Is a typical NFO service obligation 6 yrs or 4?

How long does it typically take to wing?

Depends on which platform you select. Jets is about 18-24 months. I believe P-3s are about a year, no idea about Hawkeyes or Mercury guys.

Thank you for the quick reply. Where are the typical bases for training? Just in florida?
