Greetings
I was told today that I was selected for NFO and while I am honored I am also disappointed because I had my heart set on a pilot billet. Even though my package was pretty strong(9 PFAR, 8 AQR, PPL with 130 hours, good GPA, good health(20/20)), my age got in the way(28.5). It would be easier to take if there was something else that counted against be, but I am otherwise very qualified! I hate to sound like a spoiled child, but has anyone heard if it is at all possible for a billet transfer or redesignation? I have heard that it sometimes happens at OCS, but not very often. I have also applied to the USAF and will take the slot if offered, but I am trying to make a last ditch effort to fly navy. If anyone can give me any advice it would be much appreciated! FLY NAVY!!!!
