I am a MM1 (conventional) with a little over 8 years serving on active duty. I have completed my BS and MBA. I have been told in the pass that if you already have a masters that you will be commissioned as a LTJG instead of and ENS. I have also heard that they will commission you as and ENS and then 6 months later you are promoted to LTjg. Does anyone know which is true?

Also if anyone has any last minute tips, i would appreciate it if you would share them. My package is being routed up my chain of command right now and will be sent out no later then the 28th (or at least I hope)..

Not for OCS graduates. Unrestricted line goes by the numbers...2 years as an Ensign and 2 years as a LTjg. (They were/are looking at making it 18 months from LTjg to LT, but I haven't heard the news about the Navy going to that yet.) A few of my classmates had Masters degrees and all were commissioned as Ensigns through OCS.

You may be thinking about the Medical Service Corps. Through the MSC/IPP system, if you have a Masters degree you are commissioned as a LTjg. If you only have a BS/BA, you are commissioned as an Ensign through MSC/IPP. I do know that as a doctor you can enter the Medical Corps, automatically, as a LT or even higher if your speciality is badly needed by the military (I think up to CDR right off the bat). That stuff is usually reserved for the brain/heart surgeons though.
