By looking at his ribbons (the red one). He was an enlisted anywhere from 9 -12 years. He either wants to be an enlisted with a degree because you see a lot of those people in today's Navy. Now, as an enlisted you have two option. You can either apply for LDO program which you have to be an E6 eligible for selection board to E7 or have a Bachelor degree and apply for OCS program. The Navy have so many programs to allow you to become a Commission Officer in the Navy.

I never got my pin. I wont state my opinions of why not. I had to resign. As the JMO's passed me by I was stuck on the bridge doing TACOM. I have no clue why and nobody cared. I was a LTJG with no pin and I was not going to go to another ship without it. I wish things were different. When I brought my resignation to the captain he had nothing to say. I admire you for achieving SWO. I had to make up for it in other ways in the civilian sector; like earning my masters and achieving a very high level position in IT. God Bless you. At least when I resigned many shipmates said that I would have made a good Naval Officer with future endeavors. I don't play the poilitcal game. I am fair and honest and a gentlemen.

I have some shipmates right now in the STA program. Basically you come in as enlisted and the Navy pays for you to go to school and you get commissioned once you complete your degree.

@RoundenBrown Was just down at USMC base Quantico, I was one of the Staff in H & S company for part of the summer, seemed like half of the officers around there were Mustangs. When I went through Quantico as a candidate we had plenty of prior enlisted men in our platoons as well, idk maybe its different in the Navy.

He was enlisted prior to this. My old MPA was a 4 year Lieutenant. If she is still in the Navy, she will be a LCDR very soon.

Question would an engineering degree make me better qualified for being a SWO. Right now I'm a freshmen in NJROTC and plan to join the navy as an officer. I know they like candidates that take advanced math, science, and computer classes.

@flyinhigher1000 You must receive a Bachelor's Degree. You must also receive a recommendation from a superior to be considered for Navy OCS. OCS = Officer Candidate School that is located in Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. Over the 12 weeks officer canidates in Leadership, Physical and Military training as well as Academics ranging from Navigation to Shipboard Engineering and Damage Control. Then the candidate is then now commissioned to Ensign.

He probably enlisted first, because he has many ribbons. If he was an Ensign right out of college, then he would defiantly be a Lt-Com now or pretty close to it.

How much math and physics is involved in being and qualifying as a S.W.O???? I barely passed non-algebra math in college??

I am about to graduate with my Finance degree. I want to be a SWO. How will my degree benefit this part of the navy? Will I use what I learned in college in the navy?

I will be heading to Newport, RI for OCS early next year. I will be a SWO. Once on a ship, what divisions can a SWO be assigned to? Some examples were given in the video, but are there more division or a list of divisions to refer to? How are SWOs assigned to a division?

Ugh, if I could have lived another life, I would have been a SWO. 🤔 Grew up with the SOCOM games and the navy simulators from way back. Would have been a thrill of a career.

my goal is to get us citizenship and become a SWO after college

@flyinhigher1000 The LT might have enlisted after high school and then enlisted. after enlisting, he probably went to college and received his bachelor's. then he was probably recommened for OCS and now is an officer.

Can I become a SWO through the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD?

I'm a US Citizen living in the UK, will the US Navy recognise my qualifications if I get my degree in a UK university?
