Known as the "Cradle of the Supply Corps," the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS) has been in Athens since 1954. Before that time, supply corps officers received their training in various formal schools or on the job. Twenty-five officer-students constituted the first class of the Navy Supply Corps School of Application in 1921, located at the Navy Department in Washington, D.C. After just three years the school was closed, and for the next ten years supply officers learned their profession at sea from senior supply officers and correspondence courses.GSE identifier: SS8H9text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Schools--Georgia--AthensUnited States Navy Supply Corps School (Athens, Ga.)Navy Supply Corps SchoolText
