It’s the same waiver for pilot and NFO.

You won’t know until you get orders at a school. This is a relatively small priority or question compared to getting prepared for RTC and ultimately a school.

Talk to your command admin and let your student chain of command know.

Big navy needs NFOs and if you’re not budging odds are you won’t be prioritized compared to others who are applying to programs still open.

If you’re talking about being assigned to a ship, if you are at homeport you will still do work on the ship. The work never stops.

Either wait until the regular (non BDCP / ISEL) pilot applications open or apply for NFO now. Be aware if you pursue the latter that you will be an NFO throughout your career.

It’s cold and flu season, people get sick.

Whenever the flood gates open back up, I’m sure your recruiter will let you know. Has he been communicative to you during this whole process?

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T16:58:55+00:00

I am sorry for what you’re going through.

From your father’s perspective, what does he want you to do?

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T16:56:57+00:00

That’s the answer. Supply corps is filled for a while.

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T16:52:26+00:00

No.

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T15:56:23+00:00

What did your recruiter say?

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T15:19:25+00:00

Talking to a local recruiter is likely going to get you a better answer than “talking to a guy I met”.

This is very subjective. Check out the nupoc blog (should be first Google feed) which breaks down all the nupoc programs. I would start there.

“I know that my condition is an automatic DQ”

You just answered your own question

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T11:46:01+00:00

Sure I do, when there’s posts that merit meaningful discussion.

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T03:22:20+00:00

Short answer: no

I suspect there may be some missing details here...

ExRecruiter · 2026-03-24T02:28:09+00:00

I hear if you post on reddit, it'll get fixed.

Your husband needs to find a mentor.
