Ex Super-NFO-SWO
If I can do it, so can you.
Arrived in pensacola in 91 only to learn that there was a 24 month back log wait to start primary, with no stash ensign slots available anywhere. Six months later, the navy came up with a better idea for our class and poof, we were all to be super-nfo students. Like others alluded to, those 12 familiarization rides ruined me at least for being anything other than a pilot. I quietly switched to surface warfare, worked on my ratings with american flyers while in port, and dropped my letter prior to facing the next set of orders. Late night freight, sketchy commuters, and one failing legacy later, I made it to the majors in just under 8 years. 23 years later, if asked if the juice was worth the squeeze? Absolutely, yes.
