The Navy is seeking applications from highly-qualified
enlisted Sailors for a trial program that will create
30 Chief Warrant Officers to become pilots and naval
flight officers. The intent is to create flying
specialists unencumbered by the traditional career
paths of unrestricted line officers. Targeted specialties
include Patrol (VP), Electronic Attack (VQ(P) and VQ(T))
and the HSC and HSL helicopter communities. Eligibility:
be between paygrades E-5 and E-7; be young enough to
be commissioned by their 27th birthday (29 for NFOs);
possess an associate’s degree or higher; meet aviation
physical qualifications; pass Aviation Standard Battery
Test minimums; and be eligible for a secret security
clearance. Applications must arrive at Navy Personnel
Command (PERS-432M) no later than March 31. For more
information, refer to NAVADMIN 022/06, available at
www.npc.navy.mil, or contact your Command Career Counselor.
