Greeting all,
I recently got picked up from the June Supply board and am currently on standby awaiting my Fin-Sel. I had a career question that I was hoping could be answered by a seasoned Suppo, or someone knowledgable on the subject matter. I have read a lot of different gouge and I have come to the understanding that in order to be promoted to O5 and above; an MBA needs to be obtained from NPS, or from a Higher Education institution on the Navy's approved list of top civilian schools. I also read somewhere that if an MBA was obtained (pre-commission), in addition to a certain amount of time in service, then that requirement could be mitigated. My question is this: if one has already obtained their MBA from a decent, accredited State University (albeit not on the Navy's list of top civilian schools) before commissioning, commissions, attains the rank of LT, Warfare Qual, DAWIA etc. would there still be the additional PG school MBA requirement in order to get pushed to O4/O5?
I don't mind getting another degree (preferably a PhD), but it seems a bit redundant and superfluous to get the same degree twice. I know it's a little early, but I do like to get my ducks in a row before SHTF and I'm too busy to really research and project my own personal career plan.
Respectfully,
-Future Suppo
