This is why aviation lateral transfers (example: SWO to SNA/SNFO) are rare and take folks very very junior. Otherwise they will not have enough time to meet required milestones for O-4 selection.

I have noticed this just by reading through the forum that transfers into the aviation community is not a normal occurence. My question is why is the Navy like this in order to meet the milestones for O-4 selection? I know that branches like the USAF, it seems like you can go to pilot training or CSO training even after being in another career field within the DOD. so I would assume it is based on some historical reason that the USN's process works like this? This is a question I have been genuinely curious about for a while.
If flight school doesn’t work out, you may have a bright future as a CMC!

Aviation and similar URL communities have discrete requirements that take a while to complete.
