HOW AND WHEN ARE INITIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENTS MADE?
All commissioned SP participants have the opportunity to state their duty preferences. Students are briefed on the detailing process while at OIS and through the newsletter, Student Watch. Approximately two months prior to beginning NJS, the Accessions Detailer initiates a conversation with each new officer about how your preferences match the billets available at the precise moment when that officer will finish the training pipeline discussed in paragraph #7 above and #37 below. The Accessions Detailer normally makes initial contact with each officer in the order in which you accept commission, unless unusual circumstances require an exception to this rule, such as a military co-location necessity.
