Hey guys, I'm just going to put my 2 cents in here and you can take it for what it's worth...
First off, I wouldn't trust my recruiter if he told me the sky was blue, and I wouldn't trust yours either. At least not until I got what ever it was he was saying corroborated with three other independent sources (and an email for TN don't count as one). Why? Because everytime I think my recruiter couldn't seem less competent, he'll turn around and surprise me. I also think that the some of these guys like to put on the appearance that they alone are in the know. So, what's the deal with ASTB scores, and what is the board considering as of today? I don't have the first damn clue. I haven't talked to any one from the down there. Yeah, I've heard that the board "wants" to see 6, 7 scores, but if you go to the NOMI site and click around until you find info about the ASTB, you'll see that the score minimums are still 3, 4.
If I seem down on recruiters at the moment it's because I am. I've been trying to get in touch with mine for the last few days now, and as is typically the case he is unavailable. It's been this way from day one with this guy. Mistake after mistake, showing up to meetings with other peoples paper work instead of mine, says one thing on the phone and another in person, ect, ect... It's like pulling teeth everytime I need something from him.
Ok, I've vented... now I feel better.
