The transferring from NFO to Pilot has been brought up before, and yes there is a chance, there is a chance for just about everything in life, but you need to hope everything lines up just right.Hey all, I’m back. I’m cleared from all my stuff and good to go. Though I’ve been wondering what to do regarding aviator vs flight officer (AEDO being my 3rd choice). Being an aviator would be nice because you’d be flying the craft. But from what I’ve read, around 50% of the naval Air Force is heli’s- which in unsure about. I’m a fixed wing guy. My recruiter said that it might be better to put flight officer as my first choice because they’ll likely pick me up and get me moving faster. Flight officer sounds good because I’m a very technical guy and my engineering experience could come in handy. The job sounds cool, I could transfer to pilot if I really wanted, and they’re more for fixed wing.
I wanted to hear what you all thought
You should put the designator down you are wanting to do for your career, the other thing is your FOFAR is a 5 which is the minimum those aren't great odds, you have better odds with SNA as your PFAR is 7.
