I got selected for SNFO, graduating '24, and my CO forwarded me an email where they are letting 23 NROTC aviation graduates go to NPS in Monterey CA to get a masters prior to going to Pensacola. All of the programs seem to be about 18-24 months long. My CO mentioned that if I decide to go this route, it would essentially cut down my first shore tour down by the length of the program, which could be good or bad, depending on how I look at it. I have not been able to find next to any information about any of this online, and figured here would be a decent place to ask.
I'm trying to keep all of my options open, such as TPS and TOPGUN depending on whatever platform I get selected for, and I know that both of those take place during first shore tour.
Does this seem like a good idea? Any further info on this?
Side question that may influence my decision: Any idea how long the wait in Pensacola for SNFO is? Cuz if its still super long (12+ months), might be worth getting a masters in the mean time.
For reference, I have a 3.5 GPA, and upon commissioning will have 2 degrees, a BS in Mechanical Engineering, and a BS in Manufacturing Engineering. So I think that an application for this would be reasonably competitive.
Forgive me if this is in the wrong spot, wasn't sure what category this would go in.
