Obviously try and score above a 50 on the OAR. I should of quoted your post earlier so you could see what I said below. (It was meant to be a reply to you) My $0.02 for you is don't lose hope... Incase you don't get above a 50 for your last try, as long as you get a qualifying score, apply. I know you're OCONUS but have you considered requesting to extend at your current command? (Long shot but worth a try) I say that because I assume you are pretty established at your current command with a CO who will give you a good recommendation. Worst case you come back to CONUS at your new station and wait until you're established, study and apply. (I am saying what I would do, because I am close to being in the same situation of being close to my transferring window.)

yep and your plan to submit then retake is one I would recommend.

Since we are on the topic of retaking the OAR, I have a 47 on my first attempt. I have not applied before and have no prior service. I was wanting to submit and see what happens, but my recruiter wants me to retake the OAR next week. I have not even opened an OAR practice exam since November, since I am focusing on my Masters at the moment. What do y'all think? Retake and risk my score dropping, or submit with a low OAR?
Your OAR may be seem a little weak to the board based on your GPA 3.0, but you can still have a try. If you dont have any age waiver issue, you can retake the OAR until you fell confortable. Remember, you only have 2 chances. So, I would recommand to apply now and fully prepare your 2nd OAR later since you got the full picture of OAR.

Well it appears that this thread is on fire now! *plays danger zone on youtube* Since that1dude asked, I will disclose my stat as well
Age: 27
OAR: 64
GPA: 3.18
Education: Mathematics-Economics Joint Major (Yes this is how they named it)
Work Experience: Insurance agency manager/no prior enlisted
LOR: 2 Previous employers/1 pastor
Interview: O-4 Suppo
Regardless of the board result, I am grateful for all the inspirations I received from people I encountered directly/indirectly during my packet application process. It brings me peace of mind to know that all these highly motivated and qualified folks are applying to become naval officers. If I am given a chance to serve alongside you guys, it would be my greatest honor. But even if the board rejects my packet, I really hope I would be able to say that it have been a fun/wonderful journey..... Although I would probably lie down try not to cry then cry a lot... Let us all hope for the best and stay motivated. Whoever the board approves shall be on board to serve.

Very well said brother! I agree with your sentiments and wish nothing but the best to anyone applying (myself included!).
As an aside, one thing that I've never been a huge fan of in the Navy (or the military in general) is the "hurry up and wait" game. Now, I'm not saying that I was necessarily in a hurry to submit my package. However, there were a couple of last minute items that made my submission process seem like a "hurry-up" situation and now this wait for the board is just killing me! It cannot come soon enough!
You got a decent stats. If you dont have any issue of moral waviver or medical wavier, your motivated statement may become a major factor the board concerned. Good luck.

Thank you for the positive feedback sir! I wonder if "hurry up and wait" game applies to other military service branches and other government organizations in general.
