This NAVADMIN announces the Fiscal Year 2020 cancellation of the Direct Commission Officer Indoctrination Course (DCOIC) and the associated transition to Officer Development School (ODS) and the Limited Duty Officer (LDO)/Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Academy. The DCOIC provided by Officer Training Command (OTC), Newport, Rhode Island, will no longer be offered effective 30 September 2019. Beginning 1 October 2019, Reserve Direct Commission Officers (DCO) will attend the same accession training courses as their Active Component counterparts. 2. The purpose of this change in policy is to ensure standards for Navy officer training are applied consistently across all accessions pipelines, in order to support increased permeability between the Active and Reserve components. 3. This change to accession training affects all direct accessions into Navy Reserve Officer DCO, LDO and CWO programs. a. DCOs. Reserve DCOs shall attend ODS to complete their accession training requirement within 1 year of commissioning. b. LDOs/CWOs. Reserve LDOs and CWOs shall attend the LDO/CWO Academy to complete their commissioning training requirement within 1 year of commissioning. 4. ODS Training Flexibility. The accession training requirement for reserve DCOs will be attendance of ODS in one continuous 5-week training period. However, ODS split option courses have been developed to more adequately support civilian professional schedules. A limited number of split option quotas will be available over two separate training periods throughout the year. 5. Points of contact: a. For training program specific questions contact CAPT Lee Newton at (847) 688-3400 x443/DSN 792 or via e-mail at lee.newton(at)navy.mil. b.
