Enlisted to Officer
Okay, so I was chatting with my recruiter, a nuke EM1 sub, a few weeks ago and I asked him the probability of getting selected for the Enlisted to Commissioning Program and he said it's like 90% acceptance. Does anybody, preferably a nuke, know how one gets commissioned while being enlisted? I'm guessing there is schooling involved but does that mean OCS or what??

It depends.
Do you have your degree already? If so, you would apply directly to OCS. If not, you would apply to the STA-21 program, or BDCP/NUPOC (http://www.navy.com/joining/educatio...rgraduate.html) to complete your degree prior to attending OCS. You could also become a LDO or CWO. Maybe it's different in the nuke community, but from what I've seen your recruiter is being very generous with that percentage. Direct Commission applicants (those with degrees) have been recently picked up at a rate of anywhere between 1-30 percent depending on the community. I don't know the percentage for the other programs, but it's not uncommon for people to have to apply more than once before being selected. Best thing you can do is get the best Evals you can, and get recommendations from your chain of command.

Yeah, I think so too.

You will have to go through nuke school, and you could be picked up for either Annapolis while at school or after nuke school the STA-21 program
