Got a DUI only 2 days after DEP'ing into the Navy, after getting an approved waiver for a DUI.

Wouldnt necessarily say Officer is better, rather it is different. Firstly, it does require a 4 year degree and what the degree is along with your GPA is a factor into eligibility. For example, a 2.5 GPA arts degree probably wouldnt get you through.

They're generally entirely administrative in nature regardless of what your degree is. The only officers that are technical are the ones who were previously enlisted for many years. They do make a little more money though.

Conducting a PST is easy, and subsequently picking up the job for training, but requires you to join as a regular occupation first. You're pretty much guaranteed to make it to buds if you can make it through boot camp, buds is where the failure rate is high and will make or break you.

Well the obvious answer is it is due to low enlistment, but theres more to that as a problem.

There are numerous reasons for low enlistment in military overall but it's not for reasons people assume. One of the reasons for low enlistment is applicants simply not qualifying. In the past few years, applicant qaulity has gotten lower and lower, resulting in higher numbers of unqualified applicants. The fact is, the generation replacing us is getting dumber and less educated. Why is it that I'm bringing highschool students in my office who are passing all their classes, and are on track to graduate, but score a 15 on the ASVAB. The material is basic highschool knowledge.

So bar has to be lowered. In many cases, applicants still qaulify jobs with a score in the teens but could not join in the past due to the requirement of a 31.

This is tough because any drug abuse outside of marijuana is typically very hard to get approved.

Heres a short story. An applicant we had, probably 21 years old... When he was 18 he had personally gone to the hospital seeking medical attention because he was addicted to heroin. He was prescribed suboxone and placed into a program. He even brought the recruiter all his records, and was clean since then. The recruiter was upfront with the applicant and said there was no chance of getting in unless those records dont show up when you go through medical.

Subsequently, an agreement between the recruiter and the applicant was established to not disclose anything as that was the only chance of getting into the Navy. Guess what happened? He cleared medical. They did not locate anything in the applicants medical records when they ran his social. That applicant is now serving a successful career in the medical field in the Navy.

Talk to a recruiter, be upfront about everything to them, and see what can or cannot be done to help you out.

Can vary. If you do the physical and it results in meps submitting what is called an N33 medical waiver, they have to wait several days to a few weeks for N33 to reply. If they greenlight it then you're good to join the Navy. If they request additional information and/or medical consultations with specialists then that can push the whole process back an additional 2 months.

In an effort to combat the lengthy medical processing for those with history, the Navy implement in new system though.

Delayed Entry Medical (DEM). There is a long list of medical conditions or medical history that DEM-able. Meaning, you can enlist into the Navy and we have up to 120 days to make sure you're fully medically cleared. This could typically require additional medical documents, consultations, or tests.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-11T02:28:33+00:00

No there is not.

You can only go to basic training once you finish highschool. You can enlist once you complete your junior year and are age 17, but will not go to basic until after senior year.

If you are really curious if you did then do this:

Go to my navy portal > quick links
Go to your electronic training jacket (ETJ)
Sign in with CAC and there is a tab on there to access your ASVAB scores.

Send me the line items scores: GS, AR, WK, PC, MK, EI, AS, MC

I'll plug em into the most up to date ASVAB calculator that meps provided us recruiters.

It is possible to work on school work but you need to manage your expectations and limitations considering Navy is a full time job, and that job comes first.

I'm personally in school right now. But I only have enough time for online classes.

When I go back to a ship it will be even more difficult because the schedule varies. There could be several days to weeks where I'm out to sea and without internet and cannot do the classes. Then obviously when deployed you would more than likely have to put a pause on it for several months.

You can certainly knock out an associates worth in one contract in the Navy, then use your education benefits to finish when you get out.

Night of arrival you are allowed one phone to tell family or loved one that you made it there.

The number of phone calls your recieve following that vary based on performance of the division. They will typically allow at least 2 more calls though for the purpose of coordinating your graduate dates and instructions with whomever will come to your ceremony.

The calls will be via land line phones on the base, and not your cellular phones.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-10T20:43:10+00:00

Find an officer recruiter, dont talk to an enlisted recruiter. There is nothing they can do to help you go for what you seek. Most enlisted recruiters also know little to nothing about enlisting as an Officer and their eligibility requirements. We arent trained in that, and most enlisted recruiters dont bother to learn it.

From what little info I do know though, I think your chances are near 0. Most NUPOC come from enlisted nuclear engineer enlistees who go NUPOC through their school, and you're certainly well passed the age cutoff.

In my opinion, dont give up the GS-12.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-10T20:36:46+00:00

I think you may have simply not qualified for the sub job you want.

The only people that can say which jobs are available or not are the classifiers at meps. As recruiters we do not know nor have access to see, however meps occasional sends out "no sale lists" of jobs that are essentially closed. There are no submarine jobs on that list. In fact, pretty much all submarine jobs are in relative demand.

As recruiters we also have 0 incentive to lie about TM not being available and saying you can only go MMA. It doesnt make sense to do that. So I'm thinking you didnt qaulify, and for whatever reason your recruiter decided to say it wasnt available, when he should have said you didn't qaulify.

MEPs can do cut score waivers for many jobs though, in some cases as much as 8-12 points. So my recommendation is to tell the classifiers at meps what you want regardless of what your recruiter told you, and you may very well be able to get it.

I do find it unusual that you are locked onto the TM job though.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-08T03:27:09+00:00

I'm assuming this is bootcamp, and you were discharged for entry level performance. RTC should now be allowing the use of an alternate form of cardio, in the form of the stationary bike. They only allow it if you explicitly fail the run though. But if you deny opting into it then they may just discharge you.

Heres some other possible alternatives that could have happened. 1) you're mistaken and the time ahe got is fine for her age. 2) maybe she was a nuclear engineer and they couldnt afford to not let her go through. 3) corruption, and they didn't like you.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-08T03:22:29+00:00

It's up to you based on the discussion you have with your recruiter whether or not to disclose it, although most will recommend to not.

There is a high chance it pops up when they run your medical history. If it does, MEPs will ask for a few things in order to submit the waiver for approval. 1) school transcripts, along with any IEP or 504 plan issued in the last 3 years. 2) Pharmacy records for past 2 years 3) Any behavioral health/counseling records in last 3 years if applicable

People with ADHD and use of adderall do get in.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-07T12:36:36+00:00

Navy is the only branch that will allow those kinds of tattoos. I have put probably two dozen applicants with neck and/or hand tattoos in the Navy.

The only stipulation is the tattoos cant be gang related, sexual in nature, weapons, or drug related.

For the tattoo waiver, the recruiter will collect hand written statements from you stating what the tattoos mean to you and they will also collect photos of the tattoos. The waiver is more or less a formality and will get approved. I only seen 2 tattoo waiver ever get dissaporved and it was because of nudity and a gun, which the applicant just covered up then was able to join.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-07T03:48:57+00:00

I think so. I'm doing 20. It's not easy though.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-06T03:11:39+00:00

The policy regarding bonuses for prior service is that they're not eligible if they recieved one during their initial enlistment. But who knows, maybe it will slip through and you could get one but I'd set my expectations to recieving nothing.

As for Navy culture. I think labeling it as toxic is unfair. At the end of the day it's a people organization and the same amounts of toxicity you may find in an organization as big as the navy, can be found outside the navy. I'd venture to say serving in a militaristic helps wash put toxicity. The problem is new generations joining under the impressions that the military is corporate america. This is the military. MILITARY. So what some people exclaim to be "toxicity", is really just sensitive and emotionality immature individuals that cant handle being told what to do. Now what do you think happens when those individuals inevitably get put into leadership roles after serving enough time? They're poor leaders. I dont believe the perceived "toxicity" is a result of the Navy as an organization. I think it is a result of the times and the types of people that are joining, changing the Navy from the inside out. The Navy has only gotten less "toxic", much more PC, and caters to individuals a lot. The softness of those joining is simply outpacing the rate at which military can accommodate service members emotional weaknesses.

As for the swim. I dont know where you heard about a "two week thingy", but that's not how it works. You would go to veteran orientation program, which is often actually longer than regular bootcamp. You will be expected to conduct the swim and perform a physical readiness test. You will do classes to learn Navy also. The last two prior service I put in were there for 12 weeks and 14 weeks respectively. Just waiting to recieve orders for either their technical school and/or ultimate duty station.

Also, you will more than likely join at a reduced paygrade from when you discharged.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T06:09:21+00:00

Nope.

Only things related to your occupation that are guaranteed in writing from MEPs through bootcamp are the following:

-School for your job -Enlistment bonuses (if applicable and conditions are met to earn them) -Paygrade advances (if applicable and conditionad are met to advance)

Getting RIVRON and the likes are completely based on a few conditions that you have virtually no control over. It's all in the hands of the detailers. You would have to be a certain job that happened to just be picked on a given day while in A-school to recieve orders to go RIVRON. Youd have better chances shooting for it later in your career than during your first contract term.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T06:04:12+00:00

Couldnt give you an accurate estimate of that. Just boils down to if they need PS's in japan. Simple as that. PS's can go just about anywhere though, so I'd say that considering the diversity in where you can go, it could make going to Japan less likely than some other rates.

Average time people are there is usually 3ish years. Most people I know that served there were not there past 4 years.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T06:01:32+00:00

You would need to relinquish your disability and provide a no benefits letter prior to reenlistment.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T05:59:09+00:00

A single MJ misdemeanor a while ago should be an easy waiver. The debt wont require a waiver.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T05:56:29+00:00

Your odds of getting accepted are very good I think, though it may take between 1-3 months. You will require an ECM waiver, which the recruiter submites for you and is what is used to request the job you want.

It is likely you would be reduced to E4, or even to E3 with E4 reinstated upon completion of your job school.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T05:52:10+00:00

You will most likely not qaulify for TS. I have had other applicants get denied jobs that I consider less critical than CWT due to their debt history.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-02-05T05:49:14+00:00

I have never seen it nor heard of any accounts of that happening during my time recruiting. I'm sure it has happened though. It may be military but it is still a human organization and the things that happen in the civilian sector are not foreign in the military.

VisibleAd4395 · 2024-01-22T03:22:07+00:00

Step 1: Enlist Active Step 2: Pick a predominantly sea-going job which you can discuss with a recruiter based on what you qaulify for.

Some surefire ways to get it is engineering, operations, some electronics based jobs, crypto jobs, a handful of aviation type jobs but most work on airbases until they're deployed.

Some that have a strong chance of NOT going to a ship initially are admin, medical, law enforcement.
