Of the boards I’ve observed, a week was the shortest time frame, 6 weeks was longest I remember.
Process just takes awhile.

When I applied in January, they didn’t give most people a dates. When I got rolled and accepted in May, they gave a handful of people dates 1-2 months out, a handful no date and most a date 6 months out.

Things change with each board.

Naval Reactors would probably not give you a waiver for nuke, the general rule is no more than 3 classes with grade of C or below (NR considers a B- a C).

I am guessing this is why your recruiter talked about shipping enlisted as a nuke and apply for officer later, by then you are not his problem.

The other option is your recruiter is not really an officer recruiter and has no idea about the nuke screenings that are done.

My OR saw on my transcript that most of my Cs were from freshman year so he mentioned I can probably get a waiver and write about the problems I had freshman year and how it affected my grades but I picked up my slack and brought my GPA up from a disgusting 1.9 to a 3.0. Thats when he recommended to enlist and roll the rice that way. But we havent gone through that yet. He said wait for this aviation board first before we explore other options.

That isn't how it works, Naval Reactors doesn't care, they don't like to give waivers, they don't have to give waivers. I have had an NR screener do screenings in my office when he came out with one of the nuke officers for a special visit, it is yes/no and I don't care.

If you wanted to go subs you could get screened, do the interview and go to OCS pretty quick. That way you could see if they would give a waiver and it would be a way to see what your recruiter says.
