to an approved Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC)
affiliated university based upon an official degree plan and
acceptance letter from the university. Upon completion of an NSTC
approved baccalaureate degree program, selectees will receive
appointments as ensigns, U.S. Navy.
5. Commanding officers should take the following actions:

ensure they receive a copy of this message.

(PERS-4801G) via message NLT 7 November 2014 of any selectee or
alternate who does not desire to participate in the program.
c. Immediately report to NSTC (OD2/STA-21) all
conditions/circumstances that may disqualify a selectee or alternate
from participating in the STA-21 program via e-mail at
pnsc_sta21(at)navy.mil.
6. Selectees and alternates should take the following actions:
a. Complete a physical examination for a training program
leading to a commission in the Unrestricted Line, Nurse Corps, or
Civil Engineering Corps, as applicable, in accordance with
references (a) and (b) at a military treatment facility. Note that
many commissioning standards exceed the enlisted standards required
to remain on active duty.
b. Ensure copies of completed physicals, Report of Medical
History (DD form 2807-1) and Report of Medical Examination
(DD form 2808), including HIV results from a test taken after
1 January 2014, are submitted NLT 1 December 2014 to:
Naval Service Training Command
Attn: OD2/STA-21
250 Dallas Street, Suite A
Pensacola, Florida 32508-5268
Aviation option selectees/alternates must have flight physicals
uploaded directly into Aeromedical Electronic Resource Office by a
Flight Surgeon, and submitted to Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.
The selectees/alternates must be certified as qualified or have a
waiver recommended by Naval Medicine Operation Training Center.
All required physical forms can be downloaded from the STA-21
homepage at https:(slash/slash)www.sta-21.navy.mil.
Commands should not forward physical forms directly to BUMED.
c. Send acceptance letters from no more than three NROTC host
or NROTC cross-town affiliated universities to the NSTC address
listed
above. Application to more than one university is advisable.
Selectees will begin the STA-21 program with attendance at the Naval
Science Institute (NSI) NLT 17 February 2015.
d. Send an official degree plan from an NROTC host or NROTC
cross-town affiliated university where they have been accepted.
Degree plans must cover the time actually attending college.
Selectees* degree plans should begin with the summer term 2015.
All STA-21 selectees will be required to attend the NSI enroute to
their assigned university.
7. Alternates: While there is no guarantee that an alternate will
be offered the opportunity to replace a primary selectee, each
alternate must complete the same actions outlined in paragraph 6
of this message. If a primary selectee declines participation in
the program, is determined to be physically disqualified, or
otherwise becomes ineligible for continuation in the program prior
to executing orders, a qualified alternate will be selected.
This notification often comes at the last minute; therefore,
alternates need to be prepared when notified.
8. The deadline for required degree plans and college admission
documentation is 19 December 2014. It is in the best interest of
each selectee and alternate to submit verification of eligibility
criteria as soon as possible to expedite university assignment and
release of permanent change of station orders. Selectees will not
be ordered to NSI enroute to their assigned NROTC university until
all conditions outlined in paragraph 6 have
been met.

Congrats to the selects. With only 50 selects this year (same as previous years), they seem to stick to what the FY budget states. For those who were not selected, continue to apply, but continue to work on completing your degrees. You have a much better shot at getting into OCS.

The numbers are astounding. When I gotpicked up there were 1100 apps for about 250 spots. 50 selects (36 nukes) is insane. My year, there were 40 pilot selects alone.

Good luck to you guys, it's a tough program these days.

Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate Paul Williams, who's quest to be selected I have followed since before I joined (~1.5 yrs ago). Amazing job, and third times a charm!! // While true, the nukes do have an easier go at it, in regards to STA-21, ( 36 of 50 this year 0.0 ) I also believe that Nuke students are in a unique position for being fostered into Nuclear Officers (i.e. NPS, Prototype, ect.), a community that is always looking for well qualified applicants. If any potential next round candidates would like any advice, I will be available here on airwarriors, the 'Seaman to Admiral-21' Facebook group (pending approval), and directly at NNPTC (if NPS/NFAS/GRAD/PROTO, send me a pm via airwarriors or fb, and we can set up a meeting to discuss building a package) Congratulations to all my fellow selects, and good luck to all future applicants. If you didn't get picked up the first time, don't put your head down. Jump back into the mix and let the STA-21 Board know how dedicated you are to this program.
