	Juan Brambila’s years of hard work came together in one unforgettable weekend. He was commissioned as a naval officer and graduated from Old Dominion University the next day with a degree in mechanical engineering. The road to this monumental weekend included 12-hour commutes, <a href="https://www.odu.edu/article/enlisted-sailor-to-officer-navy-mustang-earns-engineering-degree" rel="external nofollow">little sleep and the perseverance needed</a> to achieve one’s future potential.  
</p>

<p>
	Juan is a Navy Mustang, an officer who begins as an enlisted sailor, learning the U.S. Navy from the ground up before earning a commission. The term refers to the wild mustang horse, reflecting grit, resilience and leadership shaped by hands-on experience.

	The Navy's Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Newport, Rhode Island, is a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-navy-officers-are-trained-grueling-13-week-training-2025-12" rel="external nofollow">13-week course that turns civilians and <strong>enlisted sailors into naval officers</strong></a>.
</p>

<p>
	Candidates face intense physical, mental, and leadership challenges across three phases: indoctrination, academic, and applied leadership. The training includes drills and physical challenges led by Marine instructors, as well as intense academic study in weapons, engineering, navigation, and leadership.

</p>

<p>
	For Petty Officer 1st Class Fonanti Sapee, an enlisted outreach coordinator at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the dream of becoming a naval officer began not in a recruiter’s office or at a career fair, but through watching friends succeed.
</p>

<p>
	Aboard his previous command, USS Columbus, Sapee, whose rate is Machinist's Mate Nuclear, witnessed fellow Sailors apply for and gain acceptance to the Seaman to Admiral-21 (STA-21) program — the Navy’s commissioning opportunity for active-duty enlisted personnel.

	submitted to Naval Aerospace Medical Institute. The selectees and<br>
	alternates must be certified as qualified or have a waiver<br>
	recommended by Naval Medicine Operation Training Center. All<br>
	required physical forms can be downloaded from the STA-21 homepage<br>
	at <a href="https://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-TrainingCommand/STA-21/." ipsnoembed="false" rel="external nofollow">https://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-TrainingCommand/STA-21/.</a> Commands should not forward physical forms<br>
	directly to BUMED.<br>
	 c. Send acceptance letters from no more than three NROTC host<br>
	or NROTC cross-town affiliated universities to the NSTC address<br>
	listed above or via DOD-safe. Application to more than one<br>
	university is advisable. Selectees will begin the STA-21 program<br>
	with attendance at the Naval Science Institute (NSI) in one of two<br>
	classes starting no later than 9 February 2026 or 30 March 2026 for<br>
	a 6-week period.<br>

	assigned university.<br>
	7. Alternates: Each alternate must complete the same actions<br>
	outlined in paragraph 6 of this message. If a primary selectee<br>
	declines participation in the program, is determined to be not<br>
	physically qualified, or otherwise becomes ineligible for<br>
	continuation in the program prior to executing orders, a qualified<br>
	alternate will be selected. This notification often comes at the<br>
	last minute, therefore, alternates who desire participation in the<br>
	STA-21 program need to be complete with the actions listed above<br>
	when notified.<br>
	8. The deadline for required degree plans and college admission<br>
	documentation is 1 December 2025. It is in the best interest of<br>

	criteria as soon as possible to expedite university assignment and<br>
	release of permanent change of station orders. Selectees will not<br>
	be ordered to NSI enroute to their assigned NROTC university until<br>
	all conditions outlined in paragraph 6 have been met.<br>
	9. The preferred method of delivery of all documents is through<br>
	DOD-safe utilizing email GRLK_STA21@us.navy.mil (ensure an email<br>

	RMKS/1. The United States Naval Academy (USNA) is seeking top performing,<br>
	energetic Sailors and Marines from the Active and Reserve Components who have<br>
	demonstrated strong leadership for admission to the USNA Class of 2030.<br>
	Among each USNA class is a corps of prior-enlisted Sailors and Marines who<br>
	infuse peer-level fleet experience into the Brigade of Midshipmen. Years<br>
	from now, these young men and women from all walks of life will lead our<br>
	fleet. Commanding Officers (CO) are encouraged to identify motivated<br>
	enlisted personnel who meet the criteria and may be good candidates for<br>
	selection to the USNA.<br>
	2. Successful candidates will be top-quality Sailors and Marines who fit the<br>
	following profile:<br>
	 a. Academics<br>
	 (1) Possess a strong high school grade point average indicating the<br>
	potential to succeed at the USNA. Fleet applicants ranked in the top 40<br>
	percent of their high school class are typically considered competitive.<br>
	 (2) Typically completed 4 years of mathematics, including a strong<br>
	foundation in geometry, algebra, and pre- calculus, 4 years of English, and 1<br>
	year of chemistry.<br>
	Additionally, physics, history, and 2 years of a foreign language are<br>
	strongly recommended. Continued education since high school is vital;<br>
	candidates are encouraged to strengthen their application with college<br>
	courses that include calculus, English, writing, and sciences.<br>
	 (3) Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores taken within the last 2<br>
	years. Applicants should aim to score above 500 in reading (verbal) and<br>
	above 550 in math, with a combined minimum of 1050. For applicants who have<br>
	taken the American College Test (ACT) within the last 2 years, scores of 22<br>
	in English and 24 in Math are recommended. Potential candidates with SAT or<br>
	ACT scores that are older than two years should inform the USNA Fleet<br>
	Coordinator the reason the tests were not taken. Extensions will not be<br>
	granted without valid justification and proper documentation from the<br>
	candidate's command.<br>
	 b. Top performers who have demonstrated or possess strong leadership<br>
	(e.g., past and present Command Junior Sailors/Bluejackets of the<br>
	Quarter/Year, top 20 percent performers in "A" and "C" schools, class<br>
	leaders, Honor Guard members, and community volunteers).<br>
	 c. Good moral character and unquestionable loyalty to the United States,<br>
	as determined by a command interview and military recommendations.<br>
	 d. No record of disciplinary action under Article 15, Uniform Code of<br>
	Military Justice, or conviction by civil court (except minor traffic<br>
	violations) during the 3 years preceding application for admission. Waivers<br>
	are considered on a case-by-case basis.<br>
	 e. Outstanding physical fitness. In addition to passing the candidate<br>
	fitness assessment in the USNA application, candidates need to have<br>
	demonstrated the ability to pass the USNA physical fitness requirements<br>
	within the last year. The USNA physical readiness test standards (minimum<br>
	passing<br>
	scores) are:<br>
	 (1) Push-ups (2 minutes): 71 (Male), 39 (Female).<br>
	 (2) Front Plank: 2 minutes and 40 seconds (2:40) (Male), 2 minutes<br>

	 h. United States Citizen by Induction Day (I-Day).<br>
	3. Candidates with superior academic performance and strong military<br>
	backgrounds may receive direct appointments to the USNA. Top performers who<br>
	need to strengthen their academic background may be selected to attend the<br>
	Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in Newport, RI for 1 year and receive<br>
	an appointment to the USNA the following year.<br>
	4. Personnel selected to attend the USNA or NAPS must be medically qualified<br>
	by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) to be<br>
	commissioned as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps. Once candidates<br>
	begin submitting application documents, their name will be sent to DoDMERB<br>
	for the physical and eye exams. The candidate will be contacted by<br>
	Department of Defense Medical Exam Testing System, the DoDMERB contractor,<br>
	with information on where to receive the physical and eye exams. The<br>
	candidate will be contacted by the USNA Fleet Coordinator with information on<br>
	how to get the physical and eye exam completed at their own military<br>
	treatment facility, as an alternative. Reference<br>
	(a) provides medical standards.<br>
	5. Up to 170 active and reserve personnel may be appointed to the USNA each<br>
	year. The deadline to apply to the class of<br>
	2030 is 31 December 2025. The deadline for all completed application<br>
	documents is 31 January 2026. Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete<br>
	their application as soon as possible. Packages completed before 31 January<br>
