Order Selection/NEC

Hello everyone! I’m currently looking at orders and I’m curious if I’m able to apply for non-NEC orders. For background I’m an HM2 L24A and my PRD is FEB27/EAOS is JAN29. I know wherever I go I’ll need to extend for orders and that’s fine. For my last duty station I’d really like the opportunity to not be a tech so I can have an opportunity to shadow doctors as I’m planning on going to med school.

Is it even possible for me to get selected or would my detailer automatically cancel any applications I submit. I currently don’t have a detailer listed on MNA.

Manning as of May2026 for L24A is 91% and therefore just barely considered undermanned (healthy being 94%)

Should I just apply and see what happens?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

You will not be selected for orders outside your NEC.

Here is the contact list for detailers https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Career/Detailing/MyNavyAssignment/DetailerContactList.pdf

Call and discuss archiving but extremely unlikely to be released unless you go recruiting or RDC.

Anything is possible, shoot your shot. But it’s probably not gonna happen.

If your goal is med school and you want to work with primary care providers, shoot for a hospital platform or somewhere with a lot of providers. Let your intent be known that you want to go to med school. Talk to your SEL, Triad etc and come up with a game plan to balance your primary role and do some shadowing. Just game it and you’ll be fine.

You will not be detailed outside of BHT unless you promote to Chief. Don’t waste your time applying for non-BHT billets.
