<p>USNA grads do not attend OCS.
They are commissioned as officers.</p>
<p>Jadler is best able to answer this for you-
I will take a stab at it to “check” my understanding of the process- Jadler, please correct me where I get it wrong!</p>
<p>For commissioned graduates of USNA:</p>
<p>SWO: report to US Navy Vessel [surface ship]</p>
<p>Nuclear SWO:
US navy vessel [2yrs]
nuclear power school [6 months]
navy prototype school [6 months]
then go back to US navy vessel [aircraft carrrier]</p>
<p>In “taking notes”, the following was suggested when choosing a ship for those going SWO:
-choose a ship that is deploying as soon as you check on board- it makes the time to qualifying a lot easier
-know the ship schedule ahead of time: avoid ships scheduled for drydock of heading in for major repairs
-you need as much sea time as possible to get your pin [thus, avoid the yards]
-determine what junior officer positions they are in need of</p>
<p>ok- enough knowledge to make me dangerous, however perhaps a framework for “those with real knowledge” to build upon!</p>
<p>[jadler- how did I do???
