Regular Corps Assimilation Process
Our office conducted a mid-year informational session discussing the Regular Corps Assimilation process. The session was held Tuesday, June 6, 2006 from 9:30-11:30 A.M. in the Mason Room, Stanford Building-Koger Center.
With the next deadline for applying for assimilation into the Regular Corps projected to be about mid-February 2007, interested officers were encouraged to attend this early session to learn more about the process. Also, updates on recent years applications, plus at least three frequent scenarios were included. The materials presented at the session are posted on our website for your review.
You may direct related questions to our office's Assimilations Coordinator, LCDR Ali Danner, at (770) 488-1858.
