Im not really sure, it was an issue at first but they let it go through anyways. Also you can redesignate, but you are really just reapplying for the program. When it goes to board they know you are alraedy in, and then they will try to move you, is what i was told before i signed my papers!!!

Drop on request...it's a joke.
If you're a big enough shit bag to 'non-attain'- fail to get a SWO pin in like 2 years or something- I doubt intel would want you.

Unless you're cool like me and are part of an option program, i.e. SWO/IP, SWO/IW and I *think* there's a SWO/Intel option program however I know nothing about the other two, only mine (2yrs SWO, get pin, lat xfer sans-board action to new community) however that's written into your contract, to just ask for the lateral xfer out of the blue, I imagine, as you say, is much more difficult.

Sorry, I wasn't speaking for ROTC kids, I was specifically referring to BDCP (BDCP takes more than just URL wannabes). I was drunk-posting, excusi!
\edit: Who are you?
You're right on. Like I said, they allow ~8 SWOs (w/ <6 yrs) a year to lat xfer. But if you look at the redesignation board results there are at least twice as many as that, which accounts for the people in programs like yours.

Wow, I knew it was near impossible to get out of the submarine community once you had your dolphins (according to a couple former bubblehead friends of mine) but I didn't know it was equally as difficult to get out of the SWO community.
There are guys going through NIOBC (Navy Intel Officer Basic Course) from all sorts of background. In my class we had brand new ensigns coming from NROTC, Naval Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, OCS and BDCP (OCS); etc. There were a few PRIOR SWOs and some Pilot/NFO types but all of them were warfare qualified.
There were 2-3 aviation attrites (most for medical reasons).

hey no problem. the only reason i was so sure about the NROTC thing is before I got down to Pensacola I was stashed at my NROTC unit. I had to rewrite every page of of the MIDN regulations and I became a semi-expert on the ROD. It was awful, but it was interesting learning about things our instructors never told us.
