cryptologic warfare

I'm a rising senior in college. My recruiter told me that I can only apply for 1 designator if I want to apply with BDCP, but I can apply for 3 if I were to apply to the regular OCS board. I'm interested in the CW designator, and if I were to apply without BDCP, I'd put down CW, IP, and MCWO in...

I'm brand new to this site (but not to the Navy), and it seems to be a great resource for those currently serving or thinking about serving. I was hoping to get a little help with a question that a recruiter was unable to answer for me: Can anyone speak either from experience or anecdotally...
