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), 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, USN.
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 N92 Selection and Placement (N92/STA-21) via email at GRLK_STA21@us.navy.mil no later than 30 December 2025 of any
selectee or alternate who does not desire to participate in the
program.
 c. Immediately report to NSTC (N92/STA-21) all conditions or
circumstances that may disqualify a selectee or alternate from
participating in the STA-21 program via e-mail at
GRLK_STA21@us.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 (DD2807-1), and Report of Medical Examination (DD2808),
including Human Immunodeficiency Virus results from a test taken
after 1 January 2025, are submitted no later than 1 December 2025
to:
Commander
Naval Service Training Command
Attn: N92/STA-21
320A Dewey Avenue BLDG 3
ROOM 106
Great Lakes, IL 60088-2845
or via DOD-safe (https://safe.apps.mil/). 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 and
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://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-TrainingCommand/STA-21/. 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 or via DOD-safe. Application to more than one
university is advisable. Selectees will begin the STA-21 program
with attendance at the Naval Science Institute (NSI) in one of two
classes starting no later than 9 February 2026 or 30 March 2026 for
a 6-week period.
 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. Degree
plans of selectees should begin with the summer term 2026. All STA21 selectees will be required to attend the NSI enroute to their
assigned university.
7. Alternates: 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 not
physically qualified, 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 who desire participation in the
STA-21 program need to be complete with the actions listed above
when notified.
8. The deadline for required degree plans and college admission
documentation is 1 December 2025. 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.
9. The preferred method of delivery of all documents is through
DOD-safe utilizing email GRLK_STA21@us.navy.mil (ensure an email
with the encrypted passphrase is also sent to
GRLK_STA21@us.navy.mil). Documents can also be mailed to the
address above.
10. Points of contact are:
 a. GRLK_STA21@us.navy.mil.
 b. LT Nicholas Minnich, nicholas.l.minnich2.mil@us.navy.mil.
 c. Ms. Twana Williams, twana.l.williams.civ@us.navy.mil.
 d. Mr. Jim Branch, james.r.branch8.civ@us.navy.mil.
 e. Mr. David Burmeister, david.a.burmeister.civ@us.navy.mil.
11. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or
canceled, whichever occurs first.
