NFOs:
I am currently considering going NFO. I qualify and all that jazz. What concerns me is that I mentioned NFO to one of my fraternity brothers who is in the fleet and he said, "Yah, NFO means 'No Future Out'" (of course, he's not an NFO).
What kinds of jobs do NFOs or out of community NFOs get in their twilight service years (command, joint service, attache, NCA)? How about after military retirement (consulting with SAIC/LMCO/Boeing, GS14+/SES work)?
I'd really appreciate an honest no B.S. assessment before I PCS to Pensacola. Sorry to be blunt, but I sure as hell don't want to work at a Home Depot or Piggly Wiggly after 20+ years in the fleet as an NFO.
