Billet Night Tonight!

As long as you get what you want it doesn't matter if you were the anchor...There was a girl who was ranked 210th in the class and got flight school :eek:

Hoping Objee can post the billet list soon...
 
In fact, being anchor can be very lucrative... early... until some later promotions start.
 
There are zones for promotion later on. Those zones aren't 100% with the class you came in with. It's almost like they dice up your class. Within each promotion grouping the members can be moved around.

Example:

You have 100 people in a class (top grad first, anchor grad last). That class is broken up into 1/4s. The first 50 grads make the first cut for a promotion period. Within the two groups of 25 the graduates can be re-ordered.

That anchor cadet may have to wait a little longer until he's in zone for promotion.

It doesn't affect O-2 or O-3 promotions, but when you get later into your career those cut offs for promotions zones will affect you, and so will your class rank, outside of the zones being re-shuffled and people being "deep selected" for promotion.
 
LITS, I think I understand. I am a bit suprised though that future promotions are not based solely on ones service performance. There are quite a few examples, in the overall military, of underachieving cadets that became overachieving officers.

I guess the best advice is to be an overachieving cadet and officer.

Class rank does not determine promotions, just when you get looked for promotion. After each promotion you get moved into the yeargroup of the O-3, O4, etc that you are promoted with. As always, sustained outstanding performance will earn timely and even early promotions.

Exactly. Much more clearly articulated than what I have attempted.

At some point there is a cut off between one promotion group and another. Within the promotion groups, officers can be re-ordered. That's all about performance.

Wow, really cutting back on the sector units eh? Mostly going to OCS grads?
 
Oh my God, The Boutwell is still floating, tell me they have really overhauled that ship. I left the CG years ago and that ship was old then.

It's hard for me to feel bad for 378's after seeing some time on 4 different 210's.
:biggrin:
 
Do the Engineer Officer in Training spots have to be filled with someone that is earning an engineering degree?

Which spot is more coveted, DWO or EOIT?

Thanks!

26 of the 56 EOIT billets are being filled by non-Engineering majors; 11 (of those 26) are being filled by Government and Management [non-STEM] majors.

Don't the engineering majors get preference over the non-engineering majors for EOIT billets? That's what I've always heard in Chase, but you know how reliable that source of information can be.

Depends on what you want to do. I'm an engineering major, but I would never, ever want to be an EOIT. It's not my type of engineering.

Also, DWO's are much more likely to get CO/XO positions or go over to Bahrain their second tours than EOITs

Neither.... you either want one or the other. I would NEVER want an EOIT.... ever. I liked driving the boat. I liked seeing light.
