Greetings all. I am curious about how Sergrad affects the longevity of a career in the Navy, and how it works into shore/sea tours in jet-land. I am slowly (but surely) getting closer to the end of advanced, and there are several Sergrads nearing the end of their year at my squadron. Rumor has it that their replacements will be picked once they transfer out to the FRS about the same time I am scheduled to complete. I have gotten gouge that this opportunity to instruct right out of advanced is a career killer in the long run, and affects promotability, and screws up established timelines and milestones. Is there any truth to this? I recognize that this is outside of my control, I am just hoping to get a better picture of how this year commitment instructing prior to the FRS plays into everything. I don't know what I don't know, and the gouge seems a little too doom and gloom to be trustworthy. Appreciate it, thanks.
