Title: NPS (officer) convene dates?
Post by: bbksv on Nov 13, 2007, 03:41

So I just got my package screened for sub-nuke and have my interviews in Feb. I was wondering if anyone had a list of the convene dates for NPS in the spring (I graduate in May). I dont have access to cantrac anymore to look myself because Im in the STA-21 program now and dont have CAC access...

This is a link to PERS-42 that has the startup dates from 0601-0804 to give you an idea of the pattern.  Unfortunately it doesn't go through summer '08, but it looks as if you'd be going late May (0805) or late June (0806).  If you're doing preschool, they wouldn't start you any sooner than 0806, probably 0807.  I graduated in June and they had me start preschool for 0707 (mid August this year).

Cool...thanks alot for the info. It looks like they pretty much class up the pre-school every 2 months so Im guessing it would be in June....and I would think with a computer information systems degree with only calc 1/2 and physics 1/2 they would send me to pre..

Hey....Im gonna pm ya on your thoughts of school so far....

I was the Officer EE Division Director for 2 years (2004-2006).  In order to level load the school (i.e. keep all classes at no more then three sections), some guys are being sent to sub school first, prior to nuke school.  So, convening date could be in Groton vice Charleston!!
