NAVY ROTC COLLEGE PROGRAM

Thanks for the clear explanation. Never heard of a 1-year before. Nice incentive.
 
Yes, another new policy. Of course, no guarantee on numbers. Determined by how the overall program is tracking towards FY accession goals.

Provisional Advanced Standing is when a MIDN is not selected for advanced standing, but the CO of a unit is able to give one advanced standing to whomever he has seen deserving of a commission. I don't know if you are still competing for advanced standing for your senior year or if you have already obtained it when the CO hands it out.

The 1-year sideload is ONLY if you go nuke.

We had a MIDN on advanced standing that interviewed at D.C. and got a 1 year.

That's why it's provisional. Provisional advanced standing mids will have to compete nationally for Advanced Standing to move into senior year.

Incorrect about 1-year for only nukes. There is an additional program in place where College Program/Advanced Standing mids who wish to attend an interview at Naval Reactors, and pass, will be immediately placed on scholarship. Can take place as early as 30 months from graduation.

To my understanding, attending an interview and passing the interview makes you a Nuke.

Whether a submariner, a SWO (N), a Naval Reactor Engineer, a Nuke school instructor, etc, these are all Nukes.

In fact, I believe we are speaking of the same program.
 
Correct regarding nukes. Achieving a scholarship through that separate process is not the same as the 1-year sideload scholarship board.
 
It seems as if most everyone here has really good knowledge to share and it has been informative. When our DS interviewed at his prospective NROTC Unit we were all told if he didn't need a scholarship (already has a full academic) then he could "technically" wait until after his Sophomore year to even join, although it is highly recommended he not do that. The ROO said that all he needs to Commission is one summer afloat program and "Advanced Standing" which would not be a problem based upon his intended major (basically two years). And that the advantage to doing the NROTC Program this way was he would only be required to serve 2 years active duty if he wanted versus the 4 years scholarship cadets owe. DS's only concern is that nothing in his major is offered by NROTC, only Subs, Flying, Nukes, and SWO's. So he is looking at an SWO slot starting NROTC this fall but not going to INDOC this summer, any thoughts? BTW, the reason he declined INDOC is that he worked his butt off in HS and just wants to be a kid for two months before heading to college and NROTC, and he has offered to watch our animals and house while we take his brother to USMA and INDOC dates would conflict with both his brother leaving and his getting settled in at college.

New Student Indoc (Great Lakes) - Not mandatory for incoming College Programmers. Enjoy your summer. Your unit may still run some kind of New Student Orientation for the College Programmers. Recommend you check with them on that.

To clear up the service commitment piece:
3-year commitment for College Program Advanced Standing: https://www.public.navy.mil/netc/ns...reement for Advanced Standing CP Students.pdf [paragraph 2]

5-year commitment for Navy Option scholarship midshipmen.
