Title: NUPOC Collegiate Seeking Advice
Post by: hankrobles34 on Jan 07, 2026, 05:59
Hello all, I hope I put this in the right topic and subgroup apologies if it is not.

Just to set some background, I am a NUPOC collegiate signed for the SWO position. I have two semesters left in college before OCS and the SWO pipeline. I am in a committed relationship, and also am a bit concerned with how the breakdown of SWO or potentially a NRE pipeline would map out on the week to week concerning moving forward with that relationship. I do have a few questions that have been nagging at me, and any insight or answers would be so greatly appreciated!

1. I was always so curious about NRE and did not know what would be best for me if I could even reapply to interview for NRE once I am already signed for SWO?

2. What specifically does a DIVO and 2yr Sea Tour look like week to week?

3. I believe I only want to do my first four years, what could I do while inside to maximize opportunities on the outside post four years?

4. What opportunities outside should I pursue looking into if I want to stay in a related field?

5. It might be off topic for this forum, but any relationship advice while inside the pipeline would be appreciated.

Honestly any advice I would be glad to take, I do apologize for throwing this all out there!
