There are two ways to be an ro. Get hired as an nlo and move up or the rare instant ro based on military experience as outlined in the document stickied at the top of this forum.

To get hired as an nlo, you need some sort of relevant experience or at minimum, a two year technical degree.

In other words, you aren't going to walk into ro off the street.
