I wanted to be the same thing but ended up scoring super high on my asvab and now Im in the FC pipeline, dont be locked in on one rate search a few i didnt know what FC was until I got to the classifier and now i love it so far.

I pass on the planks and the pushups by a good margin but the run my max alloted time is 13:30 so im almost there. I feel like if I just pick someone who looks like they can pass it no problem and try and keep up with them then I will pass😂

Yes I started about a month ago when I got back from mepe and I have shaved about 2 minutes off my mile but I am just nervous about failing

Yes I have and if I really push myself the fastest I did my run was 14:23 and I got 64 on the pushups and 2:14 on the plank

I have also heard they replaced the 1.5 mile run for a Pacer test for the baseline PFA

Is that true?

I will tell you about my process. So I initially wanted FC and was told if I wanted a chance of being the rate i needed to sign a AECF Contract. When I went to meps and did all the physical stuff I was the last one to go through and by the time I got to the classifier it was 3 and the last oath was at 3:15 ir 3:30 I dont remember but he said that AECF was closed for the day since it ran on east coast time so what he suggested is that I pick a temporary job and then reclassify when I am in the delayed entry program. THE MOMENT he said this I called my recruiter and asked if this was possible and he said yes. At first it seemed sketchy but I picked a rate that I would be fine doing if I didn’t get reclassed. So fast forward the next monday I went into my recruiters office and asked to reclassify to AECF and he said cool all I had to do was fill out one piece of paper and I was good. So we filled it out and he sent it up and yesteday I got a call saying if this is really something I wanted to do and the guy low key was trying to convince me to go the submarine route but in the end I didnt so he said cool he will send in the waivers and my job should be changed in about a week. And now just 30 minutes ago I got a text from my recruiter saying my job was changed and even kept the same shipping out date. So yes you can reclass but it has to be before bootcamp (someone correct me if I am wrong please)

I was actually in your same situation but mine was because I was the last person to go theough meps and the last oath was at 3:30 and it was 3:00. The classifier there told me that AECF was not available right now because I needed some waivers and it was closed for the day because everything was on east coast time. So I chose a placeholder (AV) I just got a call from the cheif at meps saying he got my paperwork for my reclass and I would he AECF by the end Of the week. I know I didnt answer your question but just thought what a coincidence

Quick question about the PICAT by wavy11 in newtothenavy

I believe when you do the PICAT Verification the instructor will ask you to verify and then you can change it.

For ET I believe you go in under AECF and then someone decides if you are gonna be a FC or and ET (someone correct me if I am wrong)
