JMPE via CD-rom going away
- Thread starter insanebikerboy
- Start date
One of our SelRes LCDRs was (very deservedly) selected for a full year in Newport several years ago - he eventually earned command as well. Not sure if it is still offered to SelRes but it certainly would be prudent to investigate - it would be a fantastic opportunity.

It still is.
Nope. In fact, not even the AMCSB... Not a recommended COA of course...
Are you suggesting that the board doesn't consider JPME completion?
No, not suggesting that at all. I am saying it is not a impenetrable barrier to either board. I know several folks who screened without JPME completed. Myself included and the JPME police haven't come knocking. Guess I'll press to test the O-6 statutory board and see what happens...
My opinion on whether it should negatively impact someone's career b/c they didn't spend a BS year in Newport or Montgomery and stayed out in the Fleet on sea tours instead? Self explanatory I would hope.
Maybe I'm cynical about this but I will say that I don't think the web-enabled or fleet seminars are prepared to handle more people. I just signed up for the web enabled and in the application it talks about how it could be 6+ months before you get into a class. As #102 of 115 on the current wait list for JMO, I'm not surprised at the wait time.
Did I forget to mention that the wait times were similar for all 3 classes? So even with "priority" once I do a class, this is still going to take well over 2 years to do what I could have done in 12 months or less via CD-ROM.
I'm not even getting into the wait times and restrictions regarding doing the fleet seminars program.

FFS, I never suggested it was. This now concludes today's installment of excruciating pedantry.
sorry somebody pissed in your cheerios...relax. FFS.

From the MILPERSMAN: "Navy personnel policy mandates that all unrestricted line (URL) commanding officers will complete JPME I prior to assuming command. Navy officers, whose career timing does not support in-residence attendance, or for whom no in-residence quota is available, have several options for completion of JPME I, including non-resident fleet seminar programs and other distance learning programs which contain JPME I embedded in certain curricula at the Naval Postgraduate School."
Good on you if you got through to your Command tour without having to do it. A year in Newport or Montgomery isn't required. USAF version online is doable on the boat, while deployed. I'd rather do the online version at my own pace for a couple years than scramble to get it done after the board....
This is what I get for going off-grid. I have time to do the CD-ROM program now along with my thesis, and was just going to start it up when I saw this.
What's the go-to now for people who want to knock it out as fast as possible? AF? They won't take O-3s, right? Any other good options?

If you could have gotten in before the cutoff deadline, the CD Course is fast. I did it in 8 months, 3 of which were during my 4 I-stop PCS, so it was 5 months of actual work. At least 1-2 months of that was waiting on boxes of books to get to me. It is painful, but not time-consuming or overly difficult.
