maybe you'll be appointed off of the national waiting list.
Why does OPNAVINST 420.1B from the Chief of Naval Operations which I believe is still a standing order state that the pathway to commissioning through NAPS and USNA leads from nomination through Admissions to NAPS and then the USNA EXCEPT for current enlisted Regular Navy and Naval Reserve personnel who do not need normal congressional, Vice Presidential or Superintendent's nominations for NAPS consideration?
For those wondering, 25 offers for foundation have been issued with an expected total of 50 for 2014.
I was also informed . . . that direct admission was still on the table and increased greatly due to subsequent nom and would override foundation contract.
I'd have to read the exact words of the OPNAVINST. However, it is my understanding you don't need to secure a nom on your won. Perhaps they simply give you a SecNav nom for NAPS -- not sure on this point.
Although you need a nomination to get into NAPS.
If a candidate had to choose between NAPS and Foundation, which one should they pick and why?
