Is OCS truly equal to the Academy and NROTC routes?

[flynavy22]

I recently heard that the pecking order for career choice is Academy, NROTC, and then OCS (in that order). Is this true? I want to a Naval Aviator and I'm about to call a recruiter tomorrow to get the ball rolling and apply for BDCP and OCS.

I'm sure it's not an open policy or anything, but now I have this doubt planted in my mind that I may not get my fair shot at jets if I go OCS versus the other routes. Anyone have some experience or knowledge they can speak from?

Thanks in advance guys!

To answer your question, no, commissioning source doesn't matter.

Can we just make this thread go away based upon this little jewel of idiocy?

I want to say something here. . .but I lack tact. Hmm.

You're making us Virginians look bad.
