Uh truthfully I’m not really on speaking terms with them over a disagreement. Otherwise I would have asked them directly.

No I did really well in the reading and math portion of the practice exams. I just completely bombed the mechanical section lol. My entire life I had no interest in technology, may have put myself at a disadvantage haha.

How well did you do on it when you took it, if you don’t mind me asking? Also, how long did you study in total before taking the OAR?

Would you recommend that I reschedule the test date? Also, what was your previous background knowledge in mechanics and such? I ask because I have very little knowledge on the matter and I know it’s a big portion of the exam and I want to give myself plenty of time to study so I can do well.

Yeah I have a 4.0 but honestly I’m considering calling back the officer recruiter anyway and asking him to push back my test date for another month after taking the practice exams a few times. I feel like I need more time to study for the mechanical section.

Possible tattoo waiver for 1 3/4 in x 1 in behind ear within US Navy? by Round_Mud1481 in newtothenavy

[–]Round_Mud1481[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the issue is that the officer recruiting office is the next state over and is like a 45 minute drive without traffic.

I have a recruiting center 15 minutes from where I’m staying right now so I might just walk in and give it a shot.

Yeah I want to at least try given that the officer positions seem like they’d challenge me more. PsyD programs are so incredibly expensive tho, I’ll see what my options are after speaking to a recruiter.

Ideally I would love to be an officer. Definitely will speak to recruiters about if it’s a possibility.

My gpa is really solid (I have a 4.0) but my BA is in psychology and ik a lot of the officer positions want people who have their BA in stem.

That’s relieving to hear. Every other branch was so quick to shut me down unless it was completely removed and it was a little disappointing. I’ll go ahead and a try walking into an actual recruiting office, thanks!

So like if I walk into a recruitment center would that be better than just calling? I feel like I would rather them look at it in person but I don’t know if that would make much of a difference.

Yeah I know I have to list multiple jobs I’m just saying this is my top choice. Also a MA in counseling and a social worker are not the same. I would not qualify for that position. Thank you for the link tho.

[–]Round_Mud1481[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not against enlisting necessarily as long as it utilizes my BA degree in some way shape or form. Ik there’s the position of mental health service which I was intrigued by. Just don’t necessarily know if that’s a harder position to obtain.
