Weird. They told me that they absolutely could not do it at my house, and instead chose a library nearby. Otherwise, everything was the same as others have said. They did mine before the board because I was initially going down the NUPOC path and that is a higher clearance...I guess.

If it makes you feel any better, based on your prt scores, I'll be the skinny guy in the locker room. I might have the highest score on that spreadsheet, but that's only a small part of what it takes to make it in the Navy.

Well I used to be fat (230lb and 30% or more bodyyfat) last August. I'm now 184 and 16% or so. My prt is something I can control and fix daily. The test is one shot every 6 months. I'll control what I can control and TRY to not worry about the rest.
I say they just pick up all of us. Airwarriors = automatic PROREC

You should eat all the things.
Again, the intent was to track from here on out what historically has been picked up. There are threads where people can dig in to what it means to be a whole person, threads for essay help, but one of the most common questions asked right off the bat is what scores have been picked up in the past. Now there is a point of reference for those with great scores to see that some high scores don't get picked up and people with sub 50 OAR still stand chance. Some recruiters out there we deal with may only ever see what comes across their desk and this may shed a little light on what is picked up and put some applicants at ease. Nothing more, nothing less.
I have been. I was 135 my whole adult life until I started training for this. My metabolism, at least until I turned 21, has always been outrageous.

You're not alone. I'm 6'1" ~160 and right there with ya on the physical fitness struggles. My PRT numbers are definitely a work in progress.

Keep at it man. 13lb is good gains and you got plenty of time to tack on another 15 healthy pounds at least
That's odd. When I was interviewed I asked twice to meet at the nearest Starbucks to finish up the paperwork and blah blah blah, but she insisted on coming over to my house. When they interviewed my contacts it was basically their preference. Some had the investigator come to their house, others their work, and some just on the phone. Oh well.

Making Recruiting Great Again
On one of the threads I posted a while back I listed criteria (GPA, ASTB scores, other traits) that are considered competitive by the boards. Some boards many people are selected and some boards they're not. The reason I'm not a big fan of this spreadsheet is that some applicant of mine who didn't get selected is going to likely pull out this spreadsheet and try to have me explain why he/she didn't get selected. I don't sit on the boards and control who/who doesn't get selected.
I completely understand; it could be somewhat of an nuisance from a recruiters perspective, but most applicants know why they didn't get picked up they just want to hear someone tell them so perhaps it's unavoidable. I'm not sure what it's like recruiting and don't know that I could do it. If I'm up for a future board though and see what the Navy considers "competitive" @ all 7's and a 3.2 and also I am able to see that those scores mean nothing because 5's and a sub 3.0 is still getting picked it may kick my ass into gear polishing up some of the intangibles. I first want to be an officer and a naval pilot second and if I see that scores sometimes mean very little, this historical data may just cause me to list pilot as my first designation rather than supply, like my recruiter suggested, because I didn't have the scores and I'm an accountant. I do respect and appreciate the recruiters on this forum so if it's a pain for you all I will make sure the link is dead. Idle hands are the devil's tools and this is the beast that was created. Thank you for the feedback @RUFiO181

No issues there my friend! I just said I've got the lowest test score (I failed to properly prepare for the test). I feel very strongly about the rest of my kit and believe I will get picked up for SNA soon! Thanks for the motivation!
