School Registration
-
Marines who must travel in order to attend resident PME (those who are in CONUS and not co-located with a regional SNCO Academy) should make every effort to be registered for a course at the MCB Quantico SNCO Academy in order to maximize the efficient use of school seats available at the SNCO Academies. Marines from inside the local area of the regional SNCOA will have priority for seat registration. This does not apply to those students who are traveling to the MCB Camp Butler SNCOA from other OCONUS locations.
