There is an Advanced PJOC course listed at http://ncsas.com/ but no basic course.  Does anyone have any information on this school?  I have a cadet that's very interested in attending.

The date for 2011 isn't posted on NHQs site yet.

This activity is a one-week introduction to the rigorous mission of the pararescueman.

Cadets learn land navigation, survival techniques, rock climbing, rappelling, and other skills used in rescue operations from pararescue specialists.
This high-adventure activity also promotes physical fitness and builds character.

PJOC students must be in excellent physical condition.
If selected, your wing must certify that you have successfully passed the PJOC Physical Fitness Evaluation. 
A physical fitness test will be administered at the start of the activity, and the instructors will send home any cadet who cannot meet the physical standards. 
Cadets will be doing a lot of calisthenics and running while at PJOC.

PJOC is looking for CAP senior staff members.
If you attended PJOC as a cadet or have been involved in the Pararescue/CRO career field, we would like to hear from you.   

Please apply online in the NCSA main menu section of eservices.

That's what I saw too.  Would you have an idea about the approximate dates?

Thank you Eclipse. I had the same question, while I was looking for the PT standards.

You could also try calling to ask if someone on CAPTalk doesn't know.  There might be a hangup and they at least have a approx date or something.  The CP people generally really have their things together.

Is there a specific date that the application process opens?  Or are we good to go now?  (I'm looking into IACE.)  I don't see anything on the NCSA Menu from eServices, and the GoCAP NCSA site doen't specify.

From the article Summer Fun on the Cadet Blog:
QuoteWe will announce PJOC, APJOC and Civil Engineering as soon as the dates are finalized.

Applications open on 1 December and they are due on 15 January.

The information was also sent out on the Cadet Programs Facebook page and your question is answered in the instructions page and the FAQs, under "How do cadets apply for an NCSA?", on the NCSAs web site.
