RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the solicitation of applications

from highly qualified and motivated E6 through E9 personnel for the

FY-16 Navy reserve limited duty officer (LDO) and chief warrant

officer (CWO) programs.  LDOs and CWOs bring a variety of experience

and unique perspectives into the wardroom from their enlisted

service.  The LDO/CWO career paths provide additional leadership

opportunities and enhance a Sailor*s ability to contribute to the

Navy reserve.  These programs deliver to the officer corps seasoned

professionals with proven leadership abilities at an economical

cost.  LDOs provide broad technical management and leadership

skills, and CWOs provide specific technical expertise and leadership

skills in support of the unrestricted line, restricted line, and

staff corps communities.  LDOs and CWOs serve in a variety of

leadership billets within their technical fields, ranging from

division officers to commanding officers.

Going to make this board tell me no too!

Me too!!!!! Quick question though I'm

FTS so I should be applying for the reserve board right? My COC is telling me

I have to do the AD board but I am almost positive that's not true..

Your command is correct. The Reserve board is for reservist only. Since you're FTS you will compete on the Active Duty LDO/CWO-IPP board.

No, you will be applying for the active duty board. I am FTS too and this will be my fourth time applying. Only SELRES are supposed to apply for the Reserve LDO/CWO

[Guest]

Just in case you guys didn't know, there is already an active thread for the FY16 LDO/CWO selection board. Let's keep the information flowing.
