Title: NUPOC Application Question
Post by: huntley2009 on Nov 27, 2012, 01:58
This question might be already answered but I haven't found it.

I'm looking into becoming a SWO(N) or a Sub Nuke Officer through the NUPOC program. I'm getting ready to graduate with my BS in chemistry (3.6 GPA) in December and next December I will graduate with my masters in chemistry(~3.7 GPA). So in early 2014 I would go to Officer Training. The recruiter loves my credentials except for the fact that I don't have cal-based physics yet. I will be taking the two classes throughout 2013 but I would like to apply, do my phone interview, and if chosen interview with the admiral this coming spring, 2013.  I know there are waivers (and the recruiter will fill one out in the spring when I attempt to apply) for instances like mine but I was wondering how likely it is that the waiver will be approved?

Thanks for everyones help.
Brett

I was in the same situation as you. I was told you must have at least 3/4 of your two calc and physics courses done for the waiver to be considered. If that still holds true you need to complete at least physics I before the waiver could go through.
