Test Program Will Give 30 Enlisted Sailors Wings... and
Commissions
The Navy, which sixty-five years ago actually had enlisted
pilots, is going to dip a toe in the warrant-officer pool and see
how it works out. The program is a pilot program in both senses of
the word: only 30 enlisted sailors are going to be accepted in this
program, and their career horizons are going to be considerably
narrower than a regular commissioned officer.
