Policy Change Opens Door for Individual Augmentees to Take NCPACE Courses

The Navy has waived Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE) eligibility to allow individual augmentee (IA) Sailors stationed outside of the continental United States to participate in NCPACE distance learning beginning early this fall.

We dont want any Sailors to become disenfranchised with the educational opportunities available to them due to duty station location, said Capt. William Dewes, commanding officer of the Center for Personal and Professional Development. Through this policy change, leadership is showing through their actions that the Navy doesnt undervalue Sailors who are taking on IA assignments. Is it more challenging? Yes it is, but the main thing is we are providing yet another opportunity for our Sailors to better their lives.
