Next, you must report to either your university’s clinic (midshipmen) or Military Sick Call (active duty members). These facilities will give you the appropriate documents for your chain of command of your status and any special restrictions. You must submit one copy to your advisor, one copy to your Company Commander, and retain the original copy on your person for the duration of your limited duty status. You are responsible for informing your chain of command.

4. 13-2 Pregnancy • If you are pregnant, see your military advisor. Depending on the timing of the due date, you will need to discuss the impact of having a baby on your class schedule. Also, your advisor will discuss the Navy’s policies on issues such as maternity leave and the PRT. Officer Candidates and Marines follow established Military Policies in regard to pregnancy. Member policies are outlined in the CNET NROTC Administrative Manual (CNETINST P1533/3). • A student may not be commissioned while pregnant. Following pregnancy the student will have to update their pre-commissioning physical. • Members who are pregnant will be placed on medical Leave of Absence (LOA). A post pregnancy medical examination is required to come off LOA.
