Applicants unable to establish an EAS and affiliate with the Ready Reserves on or before 1 March 2026 will not be considered. An EAS is not required prior to the board convening.     c.  Prior Service Aviators: Aviators who are otherwise qualified and whose last military flight was within 1 year of the board convening are considered eligible and are encouraged to apply.     d.  All Naval Aviators shall have a minimum of 1,000 flight hours total time with a strong background in Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM).  Low Altitude Tactics (LAT) experience for 7509 and 7523 is required; LAT experience is desirable for 7518 applicants but not required.     e.  The minimum required flight leadership designation acceptable is Division Lead.  Mission Commander, Fighter Attack Instructor (FAI), Lightning Tactics Instructor (LTI), Air Combat Tactics Instructor (ACTI), and/or Air Combat Maneuvering Instructors (ACMI) are desired.  Highly competitive designations include Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI), Strike Flight Tactics Instructor (SFTI), and Adversary Tactics Instructor (ATI).     f.  Eligible Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) include: 7509, 7518, and 7523. 4.  Ineligible Officers:  SMCR Captains who have been passed for promotion are ineligible.  Additionally, both active and reserve component Majors and Lieutenant Colonels who are unable to complete 36 months participation at any VMFT prior to their mandatory removal date or service limits for grade are ineligible. 5.  All openings reflect the needs of the service and will be filled on a competitive/best qualified basis.
