Which statement about CSP-P eligibility for midshipmen is true?

• A. Midshipmen are eligible for CSP-P
• B. Midshipmen are not eligible for CSP-P
• C. Midshipmen are eligible only if assigned to a ship
• D. Midshipmen eligibility depends on command

Answer: (B)

CSP-P eligibility depends on your active-duty status as a member who is commissioned or placed in a designated pay category. Midshipmen are in training and not yet commissioned officers, so they do not meet the status requirement for CSP-P. Because the program is restricted to those in active-duty, commissioned or specifically designated roles, being assigned to a ship or the command on which you serve does not create eligibility for midshipmen. In short, CSP-P isn’t available to midshipmen at any point in their training, which is why the correct statement is that midshipmen are not eligible.
