Good evening, all.
I’m a recent 1835 select.
I realize that it may be silly to wonder about subspecialties before I have even been gained into my unit, but I have started delving into regulations to get acquainted with my new service and am curious.
Prior to joining the USNR, I earned a master’s degree from a program that the Navy authorized for a subspecialty designation.
My main question is if that will still count for me, since it was completed prior to joining the USNR? Do I just work with my unit to submit the proof of graduation to the listed subspecialty SME, the same as if it was earned during service?
Can non-medical SELRES officers even have subspecialties on their record since SELRES billets are limited to medical subspecialties?
Do I need to wait until I am a qualified IWO before I can submit for the subspecialty? Or can I knock it out with the rest of the impending N1 efforts to synch my prior service record with the USNR system?
Thank you in advance.
