ENLISTED-TO-OFFICER PROGRAMS
The opportunity to receive a commission as an
officer in the Navy has never been better than it is
today. Two of the most popular programs leading to a
commission are the Chief Warrant Officer (CWO)
Program and the Limited Duty Officer (LDO)
Program.
The Navy recognizes a need for CWOs to serve as
officer technical specialists and LDOs to serve as
officer technical managers. The LDO and CWO
Programs are the primary enlisted-to-officer
programs sponsored by the Navy that do not require a
college education. Table 5-4 shows the normal path
of advancement for each enlisted rating to which a
person may be promoted in the commissioning
programs. Competition in both of these programs has
been and will continue to be particularly keen.
Interested persons should begin preparation early in
their careers. Increased knowledge gained through
occupational experience and specialized training
through schools and correspondence courses should
be sought by all potential candidates to better prepare
for officer status.
Chief Warrant Officer Program
The Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Program
provides a direct path of advancement for outstanding
enlisted personnel.

meet the following requirements:
Be a U.S. citizen.

Naval Reserve, or Training and Administration
