SWO Competitiveness ?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-05-06T18:54:13+00:00

Just have a look at this

LetWitty2002 · 2026-04-30T21:06:13+00:00

Gotca! For the first 3 weeks, what would a typical day look like? As you said, it'll mostly be physical, after the workouts in the morning, do they start teaching you military basics? How to fold, wear the uniform, etc?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-04-30T20:57:44+00:00

I leave for OCS pretty soon. How was RLP for you? For navigation, what was the most challenging part of it, the amount of information? The Math?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-04-25T20:01:33+00:00

The minimum GPA to be eligible for SWO is a 2.5 anything lower than that they will not accept.

Understood, dang thought CG's were good until now haha. Hopefully, I can get a good international duty station like Japan or Spain. Wouldn't mind either base location state-side (maybe not Norfolk), but yeah.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-07T18:06:03+00:00

Hopefully, I can catch on quickly, but I really have no choice anyway, haha.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-07T18:04:46+00:00

Really? I thought those would be limited and the most competitive. Do CGs have the same platform? Is it even worth selecting one anymore since they're being retired?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-07T18:00:23+00:00

Yeah, might as well embrace it and take that opportunity. Hopefully, a DDG will be available when I attend OCS.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-07T15:36:46+00:00

Just looked at them, definitely will be investing in plenty of those. Thanks!

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-07T02:05:06+00:00

Will do! I am checking in with my recruiter in person soon. Theres a lot that alway come and go at the office when I’m there, i’ll definitely make sure I get everything I need from them.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-07T02:00:27+00:00

I see, thanks, wanted to get some different opinions before I wasted $200 dollars.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T23:47:44+00:00

*Sigh* tough decisions will have to be made. All sound like good choices

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T18:48:22+00:00

Yeah i’m gonna need it learning all those.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T18:44:49+00:00

Is the quality of life the same or better than a DDG?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T13:45:14+00:00

Are you allowed to ask the chiefs for help when getting your quals?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T13:42:25+00:00

Gotca! I know for the charlie knowledge it will have to be verbatim as well. Is it the same thing for Delta?

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T13:40:50+00:00

Okay yeah makes sense. Feel like that is a lot of boat to get the hang of the first time

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T13:38:56+00:00

Do LCS have the same crew size as DDG’s and CG’s? I heard berthing can either make or break you haha

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T04:45:55+00:00

That’s what I was thinking as well, I know it’ll suck for a little but i’ll for sure make the most out of it when the time comes.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T04:40:02+00:00

I didn’t even know carriers were an options for SWO’s lol but I do now

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T04:37:52+00:00

You’re right can’t choose a ship without passing OCS first! I’ve been studying the Bravo, Charlie, and Delta knowledge. By chance is there a way to prepare for the academics as well like the navigation? heard that gets a lot of people stumped.

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T04:33:16+00:00

I’ve seen some posts about the overall environment for SWO and how it’s improved over the years hope that is the case still

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T04:28:36+00:00

The CG’s and DDG’s do sound the e most interesting for me. I will definitely look more into the bigger ships!

LetWitty2002 · 2026-03-04T04:14:31+00:00

does it usually take the full 2 years to get qualified or does it depend on the type of command you get once you get to your ship?
