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 line with references (a) and (b) at a military treatment

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

Human Immunodeficiency Virus results from a test taken after 1 January 2017,

the time actually attending college. Selectees degree plans should begin with
the summer term 2018. All STA-21 selectees will be required to attend the
NSI in route 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 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 if and when notified.
8. The deadline for required degree plans and college admission

selectee and alternate to submit verification of eligibility criteria as soon
