1. (Update) A prominent leader in the Finance Corps described the benefits of the Defense Comptrollership Program (DCP) as, a well-established accredited major university, which provides unique student an opportunity to receive two Master's Degrees in 14 months.  Additionally providing access to government leaders from around the world and the chance to work side-by-side with them, learning their culture, their country's issues, and developing relationships.  All while learning from professors who have practical experience in their fields and can translate the theories of Business and Public Administration into reality. (LaSala, 2018)

Very powerful words that I hope inspire all of our subscribers to apply for the Cohort 2021 DCP by Friday, 04 OCT 19.  The DCP is a long-term training (LTT) opportunity for Civilians and Military personnel from all services and career programs open to grades GS-11-13 and certain, GS-14 personnel may apply.  Army Military selection priority is for Active and Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO) in ranks senior Captain-Major, Sergeant First Class, Master Sergeant, and junior Sergeant Majors.
