If I can offer a little bit of insight:
I have no navy experience or recruiting experience but I am military, so that being said my opinion is that that is a crazy idea, especially if you are officer material. Meaning, if they want/need you they will take you as an officer because you are qualified. Recruiters have used this line repeatedly to get enlistments in the Army and it goes like this.
Guy walks in and wants to fly in the army, they say, sorry can't help you but you should enlist and your unit will send you flight school. They told that to me personally when I inquired as an E6 when my ETS was coming up. The answer I got was that I should reenlist as a crew chief and then wait to go to the flight school. SO I said thanks and went on my way, after all I was engineer and if I was going to stay enlisted I'd rather die an engineer on the ground than be a dirty flying leg.
Seriously however, the real truth is this, in the army I spent a ton of time around the cav units in iraq and afghanistan and I will tell you without fail, that nearly every soldier I talked to that was a crew chief had this to say, "they told me to enlist and that I would get a chance to fly and my unit would sponsor me" WOW. These poor guys were rotting on 15 and 18 month deployments so they obviously never made it to flight school. I Can't make this crap up, I'm being dead honest. Now is the Navy this way? Dunno....would I chance my future to a guy trying to meet a quota, yeah if he was helping me in the right direction, otherwise at this point, I'd probably opt out. Weigh your options on this one and take your time.
Sorry but that is probably the only thing I will ever be able to contribute to the site here, hope it helped, or that I was at least on the right track.~Essayons!
