    DLI/Foreign Exchange

    Chile had T-34Bs for trainers, they weren't armed, and there was no exchange program. They do still have the P-3 exchange, which has been around since about 1993. DLI is a pain in the ass, 0730-1630/1700 daily. Challenging but not impossible. They will not send you to the resident course...

    Career advancement in Supply

    So when you said you "did a search" did you find an official definition of the term "Foreign Service" as it pertains to the USN? Not being facetious, I'd like to know.

    Career advancement in Supply

    No, you can't be in the DoS Foreign Service as a military officer. You can, however, work in an Embassy and essentially for an Ambassador. There are Attaches, who are sourced by DIA, they work on one "side" of an Embassy. Then there is the Military Group/Office of Defense...

    No no, I was asking if it had really been debunked or not. I agree, someone has a boner for Drew Carey and borrowed liberally.

    Air Force to Navy?

    I'm curious how the Chief plans on getting around that reg. Regardless, you're trying to interservice transfer into a highly sought-after speciality with a serious blemish on your military record in regard to aptitude in that field. You'll never know if you don't try, but keep in mind that the...

    Air Force to Navy?

    First off, you're wrong. There are plenty of USN officers whp came over from USAF and they didn't have to go through OCS. You're spreading bad gouge. Stay in your lane. To the OP, I'm 99% sure that washing out from any military pilot training program is DQ for USN.

    Service Swap?

    You've received very bad gouge. No way, no how an O4 from another service would pick up interservice transfer to an AD VP (P-3) squadron for DH. There are WAY more than just 1 or 2 Department Heads and they're drawn from Fleet experienced guys. Zero chance. Way better chace at VT or VR.

    So to clarify, in order to help you, you spoke with a Senior Chief on the phone. Was he the only person you spoke with? You used plural terms in your original post. Also, this was an officer recruiter, correct? The bottom line is this: Nothing indicates that you aren't a viable candidate...
