Ok guys I need some help here I transfer from Pensacola in Nov 06. I need to get picked up before I transfer so I don't have to sell my house and come right back if I get picked up after I leave. My question is can I submit my OCS package before I finish my degree? I will have my BS in Resource Management in May, but it would help me alot if I was able to submit now with a letter or something saying that I will be complete in May or something along those lines. I looked in the OPNAVINST 1420 and it doesn't really specify. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Civilian applicants can, and most do, apply before they finish their degree. I can not be sure if that is the case for applications from AD. I hope there is a prior service guy here that can help you. If not, I"d say submit it with an academic completion plan from your college advisor and see if it flies. Even if they send it back until you complete your degree, you are no worse off then if you simply waited without knowing and transfered anyway. Good Luck.
This is probably a little late to help you, but from what I was told (by a CDR who sits the Intel boards at BUPERS) you have to actually have your degree to apply (although you can certainly do everything else, interviews and all, pending degree completion). However, once you put in your application they are not supposed to PCS you. Let your detailer know that you are applying to OCS, and they should put your orders on hold once the app is actually in.
