My apologies for not providing NROTC specifics. I am prolific at high jacking threads.I only know specifics for USNA.

Old Navy BGO is right. Pipeline is not static. Student Pilot wait time has now changed from 14 months to 11 months for those reporting in before September. Class of 2021 who completed NIFE are now given option to train at Corpus Cristi many are doing that now. Yes, it’s been a year for them but they are training.Keep in mind ...the pipeline isn't static... It's backed up now, but could change significantly in next 10 months. There is of course the fixed portion, if you count up the time period of each phase of training, but plenty of variable surges and delays caused by weather, demand, aircraft maintenance . I never considered the pipeline as having any real impact on service selection (now assignment). I will admit, it was pretty cool being pooled in Pensacola the summer after graduation -- we had to report daily, some would get assigned Schools Command desk watch or other duties, but most of the time we would be released . I learned to play golf, and had a lot of time hanging by the Apartment pool (Apartment complex had many student Naval Aviator and NFOs, so often a good time.
There shouldn't be any reason for a Security Clearance while undergoing flight school....at least basic flight school. Absolutely nothing in the basic levels that is classified. Perhaps once into type training/tactics, Security Clearance will be granted based upon need for access to classified information.Anyone knows what Top Security Clearance level Student Pilots and NFOs get designated while training at Pensacola?
Tier 5 refers to the background investigation, formerly SSBI. Tier 3 was formerly the NACLC.Relevant topic to Aviators.

It appears there are 5 tier levels with Tier 5 having the highest level of clearance with TS/SCI. With recent news on Top Secret clearance, got me thinking this question as 1/C MIDNs going Aviation/Nuclear at Annapolis went through the clearance process last Spring.
Absolutely a requirement for some junior SWO jobs and is mandatory prior to starting SWO Department Head SchoolI understand now that the TS level clearance is a function of your job in Aviation/Nuke.
Very good idea. Way back when while I was in my SWO pipeline, I had a 6 week gap between schools and since my yet to be built ship couldn't be used as a resting place, I was "encouraged" to find a temporary home for myself. As I had selected "Surface with the Air Option" at Service Selection, I went to a VR squadron on base (Norfolk), explained the situation and asked if I could join them. I spent the time with them learning about the C9 aircraft (similar to DC9 or 737) and went on a lot of trips where I mostly rode in the jumpseat and did some of their admin and radio comms.Pretty neat update on this. For those ensigns that have not reported to Pcola, a stop movement order has been issued because of the huge backup. Expecting it to last until spring next year or so. Ensigns will be PCS’d to various airwings in CONUS to try to get them exposure to aviation instead of wasting time waiting. A small number to remain TAD to the Academy. Never heard of this being done before but I think it’s a really good idea.
Finally a working solution. Great opportunity to be exposed to their community. Bravo Zulu, at last.Pretty neat update on this.

It is a great idea. Not sure why the Navy went away from it. My stash was at a recruiting command. Some of my contemporaries were stashed in squadrons where they were assistant branch officers in the maintenance department as well as in admin, safety and ops.They learned a heck of a lot more on what makes an operational squadron run. I wonder if there could be some stash billets on the major fleet staffs and Pentagon. They are always looking warm bodies. There you'd get taste of long hours and be wishing you were back in Pensacola.Pretty neat update on this.
