NSW Applicants

 
NSW Application Process Update
Do NOT submit the application to SalesForce

- Applications should be submitted VIA DOD Safe to SEALSWCCECM@navy.mil. You must also send the Pass Phrase in an unencrypted email to SEALSWCCECM@navy.mil. If you fail to do this, your package will not be considered for conversion.
- All requests for NSW Conversion will be acknowledged with a confirmation email within 1 week of submission. If you do not receive this notification, we did not receive it. 
- You do not need to request a conversion quota in CWAY. If you are selected for training, we will get you an ACV Quota.  
- By Direction is NOT accepted for the Commanding Officer's Recommendation.
- All applicants require endorsement from NSWAC Exhibit 1 and PST (including NAVET and OSVET).
- Contact your rating ECM to communicate your intentions prior to submitting your request for conversion. Especially if you are within your orders window or approaching your EAOS. 
- NSW is not accepting RC to AC conversion requests.
- Applicants may apply up to 9 months prior to PRD and 6 months prior to SEAOS. If an applicant is under orders, they may NOT submit a request for conversion, regardless of gaining command approval. Orders will be executed, and the member may apply the first quarter after checking in with their new command.
- No applications should be submitted if the command cannot support releasing the sailor within six months of the date the 1306 is signed. 
- Applicants who have attended other special programs and dropped are no longer required to wait 24 months from program drop to submit for entry into NSW. The 24-month wait still applies to applicants who have dropped from an NSW program. Applicants may submit 1 quarter early.
