Hey guys,

so I'm a D1 on Navy HPSP.
I'm just wondering what the approx. timeline is for applying for School Orders.

Thanks!

I think you have to wait until Oct 1st which is the beginning of the fiscal year, but after that you can apply whenever you want up until Oct 1st next year. I'd recommend doing it in Oct/Nov, get some extra money for the holidays and sometimes if they start running low on money they'll suspend school orders until more funds become available.

What is this "school orders" you speak of? Could anyone enlighten me? Sorry I'm such a noob. 🙁

Did you actually read your manual?

Here is the student handbook link: http://www.med.navy.mil/Accessions/Documents/NAVMEDMPTEINST 1520.1D STUDENT PROGRAMS HANDBOOK 1520.1D2011.pdf

They sent us this information in the welcome email, but you may not be a military student. Look under the "Annual Training" section for a description of school orders.

if you have the time actually try to go somewhere. One year (my jr yr) I went to San Diego. I just took a two week trip, but the experience was invaluable and fun as hellllll.

Never received the handbook.

The link was provided above for the handbook, it's online. I mean an honest google search would tell you more than you'd need to know about it. Read the handbook though, it will enlighten you on a lot of things you have no idea about.

Just curious, how did you have time in the junior year to leave for 2 weeks? Was that a part of a break at UF?
