When I first sent in my application I was applying for both Pilot and NFO, with Pilot as first choice and NFO as second. I had every intention of accepting NFO at the time. My package was pretty decent although it could have been better, as could my test scores.
Now I am considering reapplying for Pilot after retaking the test and sprucing up my application, including very relevant information that I left out previously. I've put the better part of 3-4 hard days of contemplating, researching, and talking with people within the service towards making this very difficult decision, but I feel that in 20 years it'd absolutely grate my mind if I sat there thinking "what if" I had reapplied with an improved test score / application. I realize there is nothing wrong with being an NFO, hell thats what my father was, however it was not my first choice nor my dream for the last 6 years. This was not an easy decision to come to.
So what is next? After searching this forum I've found that you can re-use your references, which is awesome. Can I re-use everything else that was submitted? The recruiter had to go to the court house and pull my criminal record for a speeding ticket, will he have to re-do that? I assume once I retake the rest and resubmit I've pretty much lost my NFO slot, correct?
Hopefully I'll make the November boards with my hopefully better test scores and application.
