I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Sorry if a repeat. My son is in NROTC and has been on track for aviation. He did one year no scholarship, then was awarded a CO scholarship. Scored way high on all tests and passed all medical. Number 2 in his command. Was assigned to to a VFA squadron for first class cruise and felt at home. Had an F/A-18 flight and knew he was where he was supposed to be. He just called and said he was "drafted" to submarine nuke billet. Figures it is because he's engineering and did good in physics and calculus. What the heck? He's an aerospace engineering major, selected aviation as his top choices, but is "drafted" to nuke school? He is devastated. What are his options? Is there any appeal process, or is he committed to the selection board choice? This really isn't where he wants to be. Can his assignment be changed? What process is available to seek a different billet, if any?
