123X Permanent Military Professor (RL)
Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.
Overview
Permanent Military Professors bring fleet experience and academic expertise into classrooms at the United States Naval Academy. They maintain links with the Navy in their academic and warfare disciplines to support research opportunities, faculty development, and curriculum feedback.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) prints the Permanent Military Professor officer designator as code 1230: “Restricted Line Officer (Permanent Military Professor) regulated by OPNAVINST 1520.40.” The 123X label groups that designator family.
- The row is an identity/regulation reference, not a duty description, so occupation-specific recommendations are not published here; duties and academic roles are established by the PMP program (OPNAVINST 1520.40), not by the designator alone.
