I think everyone's happy that SWOs are actually screening people now and hopefully you guys continue to focus on emphasizing tours that promote warfighting, but the point we're all trying to make is that SWOs still get the option to take that 2 years in Monterey, whereas aviators to be competitive have to go to a production shore tour where they're working their asses off and then go do that shooter tour/CSG tour/back to the squadron as a training officer tour. The point is to say that the board comparing the screened JGs as more competitive than the aviators who do all of this and, in some cases, still don't make DH, is ridiculous.
I don't think it's ridiculous, but it's clearly apples to oranges. I clearly didn't have a good picture of what your process looked like. Sounds like it's tough to make DH in most 13xx communities. Hopefully I've re-cal'd your understanding of how we do things.
This is all good stuff. I'm glad you guys in the green PJs are selecting the best and brightest to move on to DH. Just as you all have a vested interest in the fact that the SWO LT squeezing off SMs into the JEZ has his or her shit together.
