| Summary/Abstract |
Currently most IDC officers enter through the surface-warfare officer (SWO) option or lateral transfers from unrestricted-line training in aviation, special warfare, or nuclear-power school. This model is currently working well for the IDC, as it values Fleet warfare experience. However, it is a zero-sum game. Among unrestricted-line communities, surface in particular is negatively affected by the IDC SWO option, because for every officer who joins the IDC, one less is available to fill an unrestricted-line billet.
