NUPOC is a college recruitement program. It is one path to get you in the navy nuke program. It's geared for guys who are already in college, juniors or seniors, with the requisite GPA in engineering fields. You're in college, as a civilian, your experiences will be typical of college. Depending on when you sign up, you will be payed
E-6 pay as a "retainer" of sorts. Once you graduate, you will go to OCS in Florida. Once you've earned a commision in the Navy, you will be given orders to
NPS. Once you graduate, you will be given orders to the
fleet.
If you are recieving money from the government, you are obligated to service. If you fail to meet your obligations, you are under contract and will serve out the remainder of you obligation as an enlisted member. This is a
checklist for NUPOC applicants. It can give you an idea of what to expect to provide for or answer for once you do apply.
This is a short
article describing the NUPOC program from the
Undersea Warfare magazine.
If you have specific questions you will need to talk to a recruiter. You can find one
here. Make sure you talk to an officer recruiter since NUPOC is a commissioning tool. If you are interested now, as previously mentioned, you should look into NROTC from the beginning, since both ROTC and NUPOC programs collide at commissioning. But either way, an
officer recruiter gets paid to lay out the differences, pros and cons, of all commissioning programs for you.
I hope this posting
helps.
