Great opportunity this morning meeting with UCSD faculty and staff to discuss the Navy’s NUPOC program. (The NUPOC program is a U.S. Navy initiative that allows college students and recent graduates to become nuclear-trained officers while earning a full-time salary during their education.)

Naval Base Point Loma Commanding Officer, Captain Jeff Yackeren, presented and highlighted the many opportunities available.

Thank you to UC San Diego for hosting!
