  availability, needs of the Navy

• Communicate preferences to your Detailer (job,
  location, flying, non-flying) e-mail is
  preferred
• Ask questions so that you can make an educated
  decision
• We will respond back to you, ideally in less than
  1-2 weeks. Please be patient as some questions
  require research and priority goes to those
  working orders closest to their PRD. Check back
  if you arent getting a response.
• 6 - 9 months
• Commit to a job
• We will propose you to a command as required for
  nominative jobs
• Coordinate training track, detach and report
  dates

  Instructor, FCP, etc.)
• Strong technical undergraduate record helps
• Consider timing carefully
• Leave Fleet squadron NET EP FITREP fully
  qualified
• Must have enough time to complete TPS and 24
  month follow-on
• project officer tour
• Be persistent
• Quotas, board membership, competition change
  from board to
• board
• Failure to select does not necessarily mean
  not qualified

ROTC

• If you are interested, contact your detailer 9-12
  months out, be prepared to submit your college
  transcripts. Most schools require a 3.0 undergrad
  GPA.
• We will provide you with all available schools
  that fit your PRD /-3 months.
• School openings are based on the rotation of the
  current aviator on board that school.
• We have an Aviation NROTC board 2-3 times a year
  depending on the openings available.
• The board is comprised of all the Aviation
  detailers and considers your academic and
  military record, preferences, and PRD to develop
  a NROTC slate.
• Following the board, we will propose you to the
  school and they will review your record they may
  do a phone interview. Once we have positive
  confirmation from the school, we will release
  your orders.
