Active Duty Navy Direct Accession FY 2017

Specialties Government

Published

Greetings! I am a RN with about 1 years medsurg experience looking to apply for FY 2017 to the Navy for direct accession. Anyone else out there working on their packet or that have already submitted it? Please feel free share your experiences thus far, desired duty stations and any valuable info. Thanks!

If those that are selected decide not to accept their commission, then the alternates would be offered those spots. My recruiter told me that the alternates are offered the first slots the next fiscal year, which will be this October.

Yes, what textlak said. We are considered professionally qualified by Navy standards, however, did not make board. Instead, we are placed as alternates. If the original pool of people they chose do not or cannot make the commitment, then move up into their slot. I was kind of bummed about it, however, things happen for a reason. It is better than being disqualified completely. Keep me posted!

I was told I was selected by the board in December but just recently found out I am supposed to commission this month and go to ODS June 4th. They never came out and said I was an alternate but I am pretty sure that's the case based on little things they have said. My recruiter has a weird way of saying things. I'm credentialed in ER.
