AQ-AT-NAVCIV
Citizen Sailor, Gentleman Farmer
I've asked this question many times and received many conflicting answers. I assume the conflict is due to either changing rules or a renewed effort to enforce the rules.
I've been told that I should go out and find a unit that will take me (IAP) in while I knock out a couple of years, get experience, training. Use that time to get DCOIC done and the other school down in Milton FL complete.
This makes sense to me because: why would I take a set of hard orders if I need to spend the first years of AT going to school? Would it be true that those commands would need me to actually perform the job they have in mind?
Then I go to my first INDOC drill at the NOSC and the CO tells me I need to participate in JO apply or I could be removed from a pay status and discharged. JO apply does not open for applications for a couple of months. I see two 1525 O-1 billets announced, but they have their own school and training requirements that need to be accomplished.
I'm in the process of a TRUIC change request from the NOSC to a local squadron. I would prefer to stay there long enough to get a few goals accomplished along with the two schools.
Anyone have advice?
