I am in my final semester of my undergrad and I've been in the NUPOC program for a year and a half. I'll be in the instructor position in SC. I'll graduate the first week of May.
I was wondering if people in this position could give me any insight into the timing. My recruiter only talks in vague time frames.
When can I expect to head to ODS?
How much advance notice do I have before I have to report?
How much time do you typically have between ODS and starting at NNPTC?
Thanks!

Watkinstam --- do you still have the business card or contact information you received at the interview? You should reach out to the NUPOC office at Naval Recruiting command --- I don't have the data handy at the moment (away on travel for several weeks for work) but I'm certain that you've got at least a tentative date in place.
In general, we try to ensure that everyone gets at least a few weeks to get their affairs in order prior to going to ODS/OCS --- but it can be quite a bit longer depending on how the class dates line up.
If you graduate in May, I would expect you to go to ODS in June or July --- but again you should reach out and get the real answer. This is outside my swim lane, as I mostly deal with the pre-interview/accession side of the program.

No data on the gap between ODS and NNPTC --- I would expect at least a couple of weeks. You could probably take a bit more, but you would be using leave (which you should have a boat-load of --- so not big deal there I suppose). That's also out of my swim-lane (it's deep and narrow, apparently!)

If you don't, reach out to me on the portal at the bottom of the NUPOC office's website: https://nupocaccessions.blogspot.com ; That goes to my personal e-mail and I can forward to the relevant guys at NRC.

I'll reach out to them and see where I can get. Thanks!
By the way, I've been to your website before, it is very informative and helpful!
