So here is a question. The STA-21 website, under program options for NFO, begins with this blurb...
"While STA-21 will continue to provide the opportunity for Naval Flight Officer (NFO) designation as well as other URL designators, graduates of STA-21 NFO Option will be designated solely as Student Naval Flight Officer (SNFO) (Designator 1370)."
What exactly does this mean? Is this a difference from NFO's who come in through OCS?
I am still trying to recover from last years extremely disappointing numbers and now I have another delima. I became "out of my window and therefore placed at the needs of the navy" for orders. So it looks like they are sending me to Little Creek for mobile comms support for the SEALs. The screening package I am putting in for the orders (which sound really cool and I would like to get approved) asks that if i have any desire to gain a commission I must put them on hold for at least a year after I report. Delima. I would be leaving here (Pensacola) around Mar/Apr time period to go to SERE and then on to my command. Am I willing to wait another year and edge that much closer to the age limit or get a package out before I report. My command is willing to run my boards early (Feb) and its up to me to get my package together (not hard since it pretty much already is) and get it sent off. But this back door stuff on my potentially new command does not sit well with me. I know it comes down to what i want most. Any insight from out there would be great. Another fear I have is that because of the horrible numbers for FY11, that the numbers will jump for FY12 (possibly higher than the norm). I know this post is all over the place, so I would not mind hearing some thoughts from out there.
Do any of you know if you should put your college credit and navy college credit (credit earned through A/C School) on the online application?
