FYI for any SNAs waiting to go to flight school, particulaly ROTC grads:
Due to an attempt to make class sizes smaller throughout the aviation undergraduate training pipeline many SNAs will be delayed going to flight school. Be prepared to receive an ORDMOD if your orders are to report sometime in the next few months. USNA graduates will be given the earlier slots, and the hundred or so ROTC grads will be stacked behind them. 71 ensigns, mostly ROTC & OCS graduates, waiting to go to flight school are going to be sent to carriers and large deck amphibs for up to 179 days of TAD while waiting to go to flight school. Word is that they'll know who will be affected by the end of July. The flight student placement officer is LT Moran. Check the BUPERS webpage for his contact info. I know that he's as overwhelmed by this as we are since he's the one rewriting orders. It may be rather futile to get in touch with him as the word I have is that they're not telling anybody until they can tell everybody.
