The active duty Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) community, designator 1110, is looking for (Selected Reserve (SELRES)) Surface Warfare Officers, with a designator of 1115, to apply for permanent, also termed "Indefinite", recall into the active duty SWO 1110 community.

Based on Active Component 1110 control grade shortfalls, specific FY09 quotas are targeted for Captains and Commanders. Interested RC SWOs should inform their chain of command of their intent and contact the SWO AC or RC Community Manager at the number or email address above.

Due to the shortfall in the Surface Warfare Community and the critical requirement to fill some billets, if a qualified officer applies they will be offered a recall earlier. Once selected for permanent recall, reserve officers will be notified and detailed to their initial active duty assignment with FY 2009.

If selected, this recall is for a permanent, or indefinite, period of time, and would result in a permanent shift from the Reserve Active Status List (RASL) to the Active Duty List (ADL) and would also result in a change in designator from 1115 to 1110.

Any additional questions about this recall should be directed to the SWO community manager POC listed at the above phone number or email address.
