I know personally know plenty of armourers who have gone NCA Aircrew or WSOp as it is called today.
The way I see it you have 2 options.
Get in as an armourer and do all you can do further your knowledge of WSOp so when you hit the AFCO for WSOp Filter Int and then OASC you'll have it nailed. Use this time to make sure you have the exact educational requirements. I've never known a serving airman in the current climate to be refused a crack at OASC.
Or
Use the next 2 years or so till your eligible to apply to get some life experience and then apply as a DE WSOp.
