There is something missing here. I talked to a guy who was in his

he got a call from the CNO who told him that a special augmentation
board had just been held and he was happy to tell him that he had been
selected to the Regular Navy.

You have the correct story. The same facts apply to Driscoll, his RIO.

I have a friend who writes books about Naval fighter aviation and get a
similar feedback. In fact, one of the characters in one of his books is
"loosely" patterned after Duke Cunningham.
