And what is someone’s options, if any, if you’ve reported to OCS to be a pilot but don’t pass the medical and can't get a waiver?
DOR or redesignate
If you want to stay, they'll let you.
If you don't, they'll let you walk.

"5. DQ’ed from aviation. Have to pick SWO or nothing at all…..?
AS OF EARLY 2022, SWO IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION. However, this is subject to change with needs of the navy. I did not see a single person redes to SWO during my time in student pool. I saw people offered IP, CRYPTO, INTEL, SEAL and AMDO."
Like @Mouselovr said it will change with the needs of the USN, sometimes it is from one class to another. There was for a long time where those that had to redesignate from aviation could easily go AMDO, then that shut off for a while, then it was a variety of options, there have been times where one class had all options and the next one due to changes in the USN was "SWO or go home". The most common ones are SWO and Supply, anything else would be getting really lucky.
