1287 PPR Important Information for applicants (READ BEFORE APPLYING FOR 1287)

The below locations are the available duty stations for Permanent Professional Recruiter Officers (1287).  The number of billets per location are determined by market research.   Upon selection, the PERS-46 HR Detailer will coordinate location-preference submissions for slating prior to the selected Officer’s acceptance of redesignation.  Members may have the opportunity to remain in the same geographical location for the duration of their time in service, but may also be required to relocate based on the needs of the Navy IAW with the PPR program. Applicants who desire a location that is not on this list, but who’s permanent residence is within 50 miles of a Navy Reserve Center are welcome to apply.
