I gave google my best shot, but I couldn't get too much out of it. I had come across the article you posted, but what I was hoping to find was some in depth details. If you search a bit on NFO it tells you exactly what tests you have to pass in the pipeline. I was hoping for the same with CSO

Hey, thanks for the help, man. That thread was helpful too. That's encouraging. I actually got back in the pool two times last week (first time was after a workout) and swam 800 yds the first time and then 1000 yds. So yeah you're right I guess it's not as impossible as it sounded first time I read it. My worry was failing one time and DQ'd, but yeah it helps to know you roll back and they work with you.

Also, if anyone knows how to go about applying for both NFO and CSO at the same time that would helpful as well. Anyone know if I'd have to go to MEPS twice or can I apply for both branch officer positions in one sitting?

Going a bit off topic, but I'm considering applying for both NFO and CSO. My concern recently though has been the swim testing that NFOs have to go through. I swam a lap sidestroke and then got a half a length trying breastroke and had to dog paddle for a second. I think I could learn and I think my issue is I don't know how to breathe properly, but that's beside the point. What kind of swim testing do you have to pass as an Airforce CSO, the most current and updated info would be very beneficial. I understand it is still a pretty new combined rating so the info has been hard to find?
