So I've done some searching around, but I can't seem to find an answer to my question. Maybe someone here can shed some insight.
First, a little background.
I graduated from prototype on 14AUG, and I've been on hold here waiting for STA-21 results. I'm also concurrently finishing up my USNA package. I worked my freaking tail off here to make up for some academic shortcomings in power school, and succeeded. This is my last year that i'm eligible for the Academy, and REALLY want to get in.
However, my CCC is hell bent on getting me orders to sea .000003 seconds after STA-21 results come out, assuming I don't get picked up. I was speaking to one of the civilians at the admissions office today, and it came up the possibility of putting in the package AND transferring.
I know that with STA-21, you can't PCS once you submit your package, or after you get picked up, but she didn't seem to think that the Academy had the same policy, which, if true, would allow me to finish my package here (The only things I have left are my CO's LOR and my SECNAV nomination request, which are submitted concurrently) and then take orders out to sea.
Has anyone ever heard/experienced anything one way or another about this? I'd really hate to see my CCC and his staff be the sole thing that stops me from going to the academy. (The lady I was talking to works with the nuke selection board and seemed to think that my package was stronger than anything she'd seen go across her desk yet this year, which gives me lots of hope.)
