“Navy Lt. Billy Moseley, who has been an officer for 22 years…” I know he was probably prior enlisted.

I’ve been trying to find what his enlisted rating was before he became an officer but no luck. I was curious since I spent 26 years in the Nav.
....was thinking the same thing....”back in the day....” we used to call these enlisted-to-commissioned folks “mustangs”.... wonder if that term is still in use or has it been thrown overboard as being sexist...or something....
Also known as a “mustang”. Some of the best officers are prior enlisted who had reached the rank of E-6 or above. Experience and having watched the politics that Academy officers play makes them good at bucking the politics so that the crew can get the job done.
