REF B IS OPNAVINST 1420.1B, ENLISTED TO OFFICER COMMISSIONING PROGRAMS APPLICATION ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) Officer In-service Procurement Program (TAR ISPP) and solicits applications from qualified enlisted Sailors. This program will send qualifying enlisted Sailors directly to Officer Candidate School (OCS) to commission as a TAR officer. Applications will be accepted for all TAR designators based on community management quota determinations. 2. This program is open to TAR enlisted Sailors possessing a baccalaureate degree who have completed at least 6 months of time in service and their initial training pipeline. 3. Application procedures and education requirements are outlined in this NAVADMIN and references (a) and (b). 4. As delineated in reference (a), applicants must meet the prescribed qualifications in line with this program and the program authorization (PA) of the designator for which they are applying. 5. Selection process: a. Nominations will occur at the commanding officer (CO) level with endorsement by the immediate superior in command (ISIC). Nominations from the initial training pipeline will not be accepted. The nominating CO and ISIC do not need to be a TAR officer. Applicants must be favorably nominated using the COs recommendation section in the officer programs application, OPNAV 1420/1. The COs endorsement must contain: (1) a statement indicating that the applicant is serving on full duty without limitation, (2) a statement that the applicant meets physical fitness and body fat percentage standards, and (3) a statement addressing any adverse performance evaluation data as well as positive steps taken by the applicant to address these performance issues. b. COs should ensure all portions are completed and that the applicant meets all TAR ISPP and designator-specific eligibility criteria. c. COs will then forward nominations to their ISIC for endorsement. d. The ISIC, if in concurrence, will forward nominations and endorsement to Officer Definite Recall Program (PERS-92). e. PERS-92 will review all nominations to ensure that TAR ISPP and individual PA requirements are met. PERS-92 will reject any nomination that is incomplete, ineligible, or if the applicant requested designator is closed due to unavailable quotas. In such cases, PERS-92 will return nominations to the originating command and the ISIC will be notified of the discrepancy which prevented further processing. f. PERS-92 will forward complete nomination packages to Reserve Community Management (BUPERS-35) for consideration at TAR ISPP selection panels. Selection panels will be held at least semi- annually or in conjunction with scheduled TAR transfer and re- designation boards. g. Following the TAR ISPP selection panel, PERS-92 will notify COs and applicants of the results and ensure selectees are processed to attend OCS at the earliest opportunity. 6. Additional requirements: a. Applicants must be of good moral character and have no record of disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 15, no court-martial convictions, and no civilian felony convictions by any civil court or misdemeanors (except minor ($300 or less fine) traffic violations) within the three years preceding selection. An offense involving driving under the influence of an intoxicant (driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated, etc.) is a major traffic violation and is disqualifying if within 4 years the preceding selection date. Any substantiated in-service drug use or in-service alcohol abuse (any record of either, regardless of date) will result in disqualification. b. To ensure applicants are ready for OCS physical fitness requirements, applicants must have passed their most recent physical fitness assessment (PFA) with an overall score of at least *excellent*. If no official physical readiness test scores are available, a mock PFA will suffice provided it is administered by a qualified command fitness leader. The run option is the preferred cardio option for the PFA. c. Applicants must have a minimum of 6 months of time in service in order to apply. d. There is no requirement for an applicant to have achieved their warfare qualification. Not having a warfare qualification will not be viewed adversely by the TAR ISPP selection board. 7. No waivers are authorized for TAR ISPP. 8. Due to the nature of the selection process, applicants and their commands will be contacted directly by PERS-92 for notification of results. Once notifications are complete, TAR ISPP results will be released on the TAR transfer/re-designation website. 9. PAs can be found by going to the MyNavy HR website (https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/) and clicking on career management, then community management, then officer community. 10.
