a. Complete a physical examination for a training program leading to a
commission in the Unrestricted Line, Nurse Corps, or Civil Engineering Corps,

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

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

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

to be prepared when notified.

selectee and alternate to submit verification of eligibility criteria as soon

assigned NROTC university until all conditions outlined in paragraph 6 have
been met.
