Commissioning Sources Post Service Academy

[Capt MJ]

Of course as an MD, RN or JD you are eligible for direct commissioning and as long as you meet the physical standards not likely to be rejected.

Good point to bring up. Though I haven't yet checked primary sources to confirm what I believe to be true, I believe nurses must have BSN or MSN for eligibility for direct commission as an officer.

Edit: cross-posted with the doc, who of course knows the score.

My neighbor at NAPS did not graduate due to academics.

Fast forward 20 years, he successfully commissioned and last I knew was a highly respected LtCol USMC (MOS 0302 Infantry Officer) and a very well respected Infantry Battalion Commander with vast combat experience.

There's definitely "do over's" and second chances!
