And that article is from 2006...Maybe there won't be any SNA slots until 2010.
Why do ya think I retired? They just don't need as many of us IP types anymore.

Here's the best advice I can give you:
Don't lose sleep over it. Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do - but you don't get anywhere. I've met you and know how much this means to you, but nothing in this world is worth losing sleep, developing an ulcer, etc over...
I'm also a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Why did I get sent on a FAC tour? I wouldn't have met PSW if I hadn't. Why did I hit the scupper? I would have been stuck on a boat for several months if I hadn't.
I have no idea what the master plan is for you, but I would ask you this - which matters more to you - being a pilot or a Marine? Having met you I think I know the answer. But that's something that you have to decide for yourself. If it were me, I'd want the commission in the Marine Corps more than anything else - and would go Marine Ground if necessary. Being a tanker would be pretty cool I think.
What was said about there not being very many aviation slots, if any, is correct. Great time application wise if you have a law degree, though.
^^^ Well, I guess that makes sense. We can start suing the bastards instead of bombing them. As an older, wiser man has been known to say, "I weep..."

Yeah I too got my PRK done this last june. I finally got all my paperwork done for the medical documents and just had my 3 month check-up. I came in today and my OSO told me the bad news. I still might try NFO. He gave me his buddy's number who's also an NFO so I could get more information about the life of an NFO. I might just apply to graduate school and try my luck next year though.
I got clarification today, there are no slots for the next two classes.
Wow, the gouge/rumors could be wrong, it is just so.......shocking.

How is it wrong?
At this moment, there will be no SNA spots for OCC-203 (January '10) and OCC-204 (June '10), meaning no new SNA spots till OCC-205 (October '10). There's a huge thread on MarineOCS now that further confirms all of this. Supposedly PLC-ers are unaffected, however.

If I were those guys, I would be very worried.
Don't you say that...don't you ever say that.
I am applying for PLC Juniors right now and my OSO has not mentioned anything of this nature. As far as I know, Air Contracts are still available for people applying for PLC.
I was going to speculate on what might be happening, but then I realized that I have no clue what I am talking about.
By far the most intelligent thing that has been said on this entire thread.
Fix the title. No more OCC-AIR for a year. OCC accounts for only a third, more or less, of officer accessions, and it's the easiest tap to shut or slow when the pipe gets full because they have the least invested in you. Sorry you're not getting a shot, but that's the way it is.
