I know this topic has been covered ad nauseum, however I haven't seen a lot of detailed information from the last couple years. I am an incoming TY intern and understand I need to start applying in July, likely before getting to experience any of the operational rotations to decide what I'd like to do.
I hear the detailing process has changed for FS/UMO, so that it is no longer based on class rank. Does this mean there is zero input you have into your detail at this point?
I am most interested in green side, however I do understand the competitiveness of some of the choices. In order of preference of what I would like in an "ideal world":
1. Green side detail
2. Not california - would prefer east coast, then OCONUS before west coast.
3. "high speed"/interesting - Top choice would be UMO w/ MARSOC/ FORCE RECON, then marine air (rotary preferred). Lastly would be w/ a marine ground unit
4. I do take levothyroxine daily, don't know if that's a DQ for anything.
Just looking for honest opinions for people who have been in much longer than me. I understand that detailing is next to impossible to predict and likely my plans will be changed by the Navy anyways, but just trying to gather some initial info.
