Within IW-L, a midshipman may be directly assigned to IW-L or pursue a SWO option. Which statement is true?

The concept being tested is the flexibility of career paths within IW-L for midshipmen. A midshipman can enter IW-L directly, or they can choose the SWO option and pursue the Surface Warfare Officer track. This means you have an immediate IW-L path or you can start on the SWO track and still move toward IW-L later if opportunities and qualifications align. That dual-path structure is why this statement is the best representation of how assignments work. The other ideas—being unable to be assigned to IW-L, requiring aviation training first, or only being eligible for enlisted roles—don’t fit how midshipman career options are actually arranged.
