Our skipper had a little update for us when he got back from the PNS conference in Pensacola... the biggest thing was the re-activation of the 1105T designator. The way that he explained it was that there were just WAY too many SWOs out there. So starting soon, people that aren't picked up for any URL community will be designated as 1105T and have 2 years to get either SWO qualified or somehow transfer to another community, including restricted line. One thing I forgot to ask him, though, was what happens to people who don't qualify or redesignate after that 2 year deadline?
Also, he kept saying that the 1105 designator wasn't bad, but he gave off the distinct impression that it's something like the black hole of the navy - where officers go to die and such. Has anyone else gotten any info on this from their skippers?
