In regard to an earlier post, does the current need for pilots also mean the current need for NFO's?

This thread looks like it's gotten a little off topic, I'm just wondering if anyone in has a good guess about the wait time for Marine SNAs classing up for API or IFS? Thanks for any info

Right now, Bravo company is classing up for API. They graduated TBS around July 1 last year I believe, so that's about a 9 month wait. They seem to be classing up anywhere from 8-12 Marines per API class which might cut the wait time down. Things change on a weekly basis though.

Most recent gouge I've heard for Fo's is that they have a 3-4 week wait whereas pilots are classing up for Primary the Sunday after they finish API on a Wednesday...

Thanks for all the info and again I appoligize, I know it seemed as though I was being a pissy pants.

You will have your day of not being the new guy who knows nothing, and at some point your prior enlisted time will matter to you and others. Unfortunately, for the time being, nobody really cares if you were a 1/c or something with 10 yrs of service. What they care about is how well you do in the airplane, and that you get your wings. After that, when you hit the FRS/fleet, and there are actually sailors in your command, what you know about how the Navy works will matter again. With the amount of civilian contracting that the tracom relies on now, flight school is about as close as you can get to not being in the military, while still being in.
