Sec Def wants civilians "laterally" entered as O's

[Devildoc]

I was approached by my command about going before a Direct Commission Officer board in July. Turns out the Supply Corps is really hurting for Contacting Officers. I never envisioned myself being a Supply Corps officer in the Navy. I spoke with a few Commanders and Lt. Commanders and the consenus was the best shot is to be DAWIA Lvl 2 certified, hold a warrant, and have an MBA. So, once I finish up my MBA, I have full intentions to at least go before the board and put forth my best effort. Yes, it's a measly two week summer camp after you are accepted, but never the less, you are a commissioned officer.

I did DCO school. I was prior enlisted, as was maybe a third of the class, and, yes, for us it was particularly easy. Very well run, very professional, a great school. But easy.

That sounds like a great opportunity @NavyBuyer
