Signal Direct Commission Program (SDCP)

Thank you very much for your interest in learning more about the Signal Direct Commission program. Due to an overwhelming interest in this program, we are no longer accepting applications for FY25. The next board will take place in May 2026 and the application window will be announced in January 2026.

Applicants with a bachelor's degree who do not wish to wait for the next board should consider applying for either Officer Candidate School or Warrant Officer Candidate School; applicants without a bachelor's degree should consider applying for either Warrant Officer Candidate School or Green to Gold program.

Pro Patria Vigilans!
