Do you know how that is done? Once they laterally transfer do they have to go through PAO schooling? I'm sure they would right?

The ones that I know that laterally transfered could not continue on in their original community, I am sure there is some type of school.

This is a great thread. Thank you. My OR an I are currently prepping to submit my package to the boards this year. October. This will be my second time applying, the first being when I had finished my undergrad. Years later, I'm applying again with an advanced degree and laser-beam determination. Thanks again for all of the shared info.

^Agreed. If you really want to be a PAO, your best bet is to become a PILOT/NFO/SWO first. At your first squadron/ship, take the PAO collateral duty gig, kick ass and take names, and apply for a lateral transfer to PAO at the earliest convenience.

I say go on ahead and apply but open yourself to other options/choices if PAO doesn't roll through. As I said before you can always apply for lat xfer down the road.

I agree with RUFi0181 and I have several candidates with on air TV experience get a "no", up until this year (I believe) the board pro X'd anyone that wasn't currently on AD, they started that several years ago, Ensign Daniels was the last civilian picked, and the first civilian picked in several years.
