(USNA) AND NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL (NPS).  THE PMP PROGRAM IS A
CRUCIAL AND CONTINUING PART OF THE EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT BOTH
INSTITUTIONS.  IT AFFORDS GREATER STABILITY IN MEETING EXISTING
OFFICER-INSTRUCTOR REQUIREMENTS, AND SENIOR PMPS PROVIDE STAFFING
CONTINUITY, AS WELL AS RECRUITING, MENTORING, AND OUTPLACEMENT
COUNSELING FOR MILITARY INSTRUCTORS ON ROTATIONAL
ASSIGNMENTS.  ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE LINKS IN THEIR
ACADEMIC AND WARFARE DISCIPLINES WITH THE REST OF NAVY FOR RESEARCH
OPPORTUNITIES, FACULTY DEVELOPMENT, AND CURRICULUM FEEDBACK.
 
3.  HIGHLIGHTS OF FY-02 PMP PROGRAM INCLUDE:
    A.  SELECTIONS WILL BE MADE DURING AUG 01 PMP SELECTION BOARD.
