4.  Selections are conditional upon the selectee remaining fully eligible in 

all respects, meeting physical qualifications for commissioning as determined 

by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED-25), and assignment by Naval 

Service Training Command (NSTC) to an approved Naval Reserve Officers 

Training Corps (NROTC) affiliated university based upon an official degree 

plan and acceptance letter from the university.  Upon completion of an NSTC 

approved baccalaureate degree program, selectees will receive appointments as 

ensigns, U.S. Navy.

 

5.  Commanding officers should take the following actions:

    a.  Notify selectees and alternates of their selection and ensure they 

receive a copy of this message.

    b.  Notify NSTC (OD2/STA-21) and Navy Personnel Command

(PERS-4801G) via message NLT 7 November 2014 of any selectee or alternate who 

does not desire to participate in the program.

    c.  Immediately report to NSTC (OD2/STA-21) all conditions/circumstances 

that may disqualify a selectee or alternate from participating in the STA-21 

program via e-mail at pnsc_sta21(at)navy.mil.

 

6.  Selectees and alternates should take the following actions:

    a.  Complete a physical examination for a training program leading to a 

commission in the Unrestricted Line, Nurse Corps, or Civil Engineering Corps, 

as applicable, in accordance with references (a) and (b) at a military 

treatment facility.  Note that many commissioning standards exceed the 

enlisted standards required to remain on active duty.

    b.  Ensure copies of completed physicals, Report of Medical History (DD 

form 2807-1) and Report of Medical Examination (DD form 2808), including HIV 

results from a test taken after 1 January 2014, are submitted NLT 1 December 

2014 to:

 

    Naval Service Training Command

    Attn:  OD2/STA-21

    250 Dallas Street, Suite A

    Pensacola, Florida 32508-5268

 

Aviation option selectees/alternates must have flight physicals uploaded 

directly into Aeromedical Electronic Resource Office by a Flight Surgeon, and 

submitted to Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.

The selectees/alternates must be certified as qualified or have a waiver 

recommended by Naval Medicine Operation Training Center.

All required physical forms can be downloaded from the STA-21 homepage at 

https:(slash/slash)www.sta-21.navy.mil.

Commands should not forward physical forms directly to BUMED.

    c.  Send acceptance letters from no more than three NROTC host or NROTC 

cross-town affiliated universities to the NSTC address listed above.  

Application to more than one university is advisable.

Selectees will begin the STA-21 program with attendance at the Naval Science 

Institute (NSI) NLT 17 February 2015.

    d.  Send an official degree plan from an NROTC host or NROTC cross-town 

affiliated university where they have been accepted.

Degree plans must cover the time actually attending college.

Selectees* degree plans should begin with the summer term 2015.

All STA-21 selectees will be required to attend the NSI enroute to their 

assigned university.

 

7.  Alternates:  While there is no guarantee that an alternate will be 

offered the opportunity to replace a primary selectee, each alternate must 

complete the same actions outlined in paragraph 6 of this message.  If a 

primary selectee declines participation in the program, is determined to be 

physically disqualified, or otherwise becomes ineligible for continuation in 

the program prior to executing orders, a qualified alternate will be 

selected.

This notification often comes at the last minute; therefore, alternates need 

to be prepared when notified.

 

8.  The deadline for required degree plans and college admission 

documentation is 19 December 2014.  It is in the best interest of each 

selectee and alternate to submit verification of eligibility criteria as soon 

as possible to expedite university assignment and release of permanent change 

of station orders.  Selectees will not be ordered to NSI enroute to their 

assigned NROTC university until all conditions outlined in paragraph 6 have 

been met.
