To fully answer the ASTB question, I'm currently in the CEC and have never had to take the ASTB (didn't even know what it was before reading all this). I did the BDCP program while at NC State. I think I started the whole process early in the spring of my sophomore year after receiving some email from a recruiter, and I got sworn in and signed the papers on July 17th that following summer. It just all depends on how fast you get the paperwork done, the PRT passed, the interview done, and get through MEPS. The Navy made a nice little mistake in mixing up my paperwork at first and told me I didn't make it, but called me back a few days later with the better news that I was in. As the Navy motto goes...Stand by to Stand by. Good luck to you (or anyone) who decides to try out for the program. It landed me in Hawaii, so I have no complaints at all on my end.

BDCP approval timeline: Does it have to take up to 6 mos???

I am applying for the same CEC program. I am at the University of South Florida and I also have about a 3.8 GPA. I have completed my application packet, references, and the interview. From what my recruiter told me, the interview went very well and I ended up getting a pretty good write up. How much will the interview influence the boards decision when comparing my application to others? I have also taken the Prt once and I am about to take it again this week to try and get a better higher score to make my application a little more competitive. Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think would be a competitive score?
Thanks

Holy thread-resurrection batman! I can't speak for the interview deal because I never had to do it (it wasn't even mentioned, not sure why some people do it and others don't), but from what I've read the PRT scores are more of a pass/fail deal. As long as you get the minimums you should be fine, but of course the higher the better.
Dan, I don't know whenter I should tell you this is probably the wrong thread to have your question associated with or to thank you for digging up this hilarious thread.
Sure makes his attitude look great (unless he starts demanding Navy adher to his timeline because he has a 3.7 and they called firstb

Buddy boy sounded like he was negotiating for an NHL contract, you think he had an agent to enter into contract negotiations with the recruiting office? I heard he wasn't even a first round pick

The process takes less than 60 days from start to finish if you don't drag around and your OR is on top of it. I do kits in 40 days or less all the time.
have you done your interview with CEC officer yet? you will not need a ASTB. if you can get MEPS out of the way do that now as well as your PRT. If you have a Clean 2807 then there will be no issues at meps and the process part is up to your OR and NRD to get it done
Odds are, he did. It's my opinion that the majority of the guys here with bad attitudes but good stats make it because they usually know to stow it in the right company. Just not here.
I swore in 05NOV08 and I still haven't been paid yet. But probably on the 15th....but I'm not getting my hopes up. :icon_rage
