NEC and picking orders
Hi I know I should have asked this a long time ago but here it go goes. So aside from gpa in school, if you have the chance to pick orders for the NEC you want for c school, will they give a list that describes all of them, including if its secret or top secret and all that good stuff? Oh and I assume that almost all of the people in AECF get orders for c school, correct me of I'm wrong. Thanks

For FC's, it's really just the luck of the draw based on the orders you have to pick from. The group that picked right before me only had conventional NECs, and my group had a pretty nice mix.
However, as a female, I was pretty limited when it came to schools that had follow on orders, like FCS or Tomahawk. There was only 1-2 Tomahawk for females, and I think 4-5 FCS. It was irrelevant to me, as I wanted Spy, which did not have follow ons, but when I pick in C school, I will be more limited than the males in my class. But, the better you do in A school, the higher you pick, so you have a better chance of getting what you want out of the group you have to pick from. Again, all of this is only for FC's. |

It could possibly limit you as an officer if you can't qualify for Top Secret. Though guppy is probably better to answer on that. I know my divo's always had TS clearance.

Officers have to have a Secret clearance. Some divos will get TS depending on what division they get.

Just curious, how competitive was GPA for your graduating group? I hear 94% may not get SPY. :/

Surprisingly, a lot of people did not want SPY, so people were still picking it towards the end of our group. And there were also spots left over, so people who had to get new orders for whatever reason were put in.
People tend to avoid it because they hear that it is a lot of work and can be hard, but I was ok with that. |

What do all of the NEC do? I know they are specialty's but what exactly does each one do?

There is too many to list and describe. Best to wait to see if you get ET or FC. ET's are broken down into comms and radar techs and a few other small specialties. FC's will be AEGIS, Tomahawk, CWIS, and a few others.
