All,
I am in NROTC and will be putting in for my service assignment this upcoming semester, and intend to put NFO first. I have heard differing opinions on the overall competitiveness of selection for NFO through NROTC.
Will I be competing against all other midshipman who put pilot first and NFO second or will I just be competing against those who put NFO first? I ask this because most mids that want aviation tend to put pilot first and NFO second, which would enlarge the selection pool for NFO.
I have also heard that if you are qualified and put NFO first, chances are you got it, because they would rather give the slot to somebody who wants it rather than someone's second choice.
Also, does anyone know roughly how many NFO slots they give each year? Does NROTC get allotted a certain amount of slots or do we get Academy leftovers?
Thank you in advance and I hope I did not break any rules with these questions. I searched and asked around my unit but could not find these answers.
