<p>I would say that Service Assignment “appeals” are extremely rare. I have never heard of such of a thing. Other than a few exceptions, such as, other 1/C being re-assigned to other communities (for some particular reason), I’d say the chances are 0. </p>
<p>Service Assignment is based on the <strong><em>NEEDS OF THE NAVY</em></strong> with 1/C input. The NEEDS OF THE NAVY trumps 1/C input. Thus, as mentioned, a lot of 1/C have been forced to the NFO/Sub communities, even though that might have been their 3rd+ choice.</p>
<p>I hope that every MIDN realizes that their #1 priority is SELFLESS SERVICE (Service before Self)! Everyone here is usually too worried about which community they want (and thus if they don’t get it, the world is over). I understand 1/C being upset for a day or two because they might not have got what they wanted, but after that they should embrace their community…they still get to lead fine young men and women, who volunteered to serve!</p>
<p>And yes, I’m back…finally calmed down on here.</p>
