applications for RCNSC.

reporting package from the school approximately six to eight weeks before
course convening.

      Title 10 orders, or on EAD at the time of course convening should
      contact CG-R82 to discuss travel order funding. RCMs' travel will be
      funded by CG-R82. Selectees on OCONUS Title 10 orders or Title 14 orders
