I've stumbled upon this sight a week ago and am very impressed with the no holds barred advice many of you post. I really don't intend to be a broken record and ask the same questions as many other people have about becoming an officer in the Navy. My situation is as unique as everyone elses and am simply looking for an estimation of chances of making the cut.
Here are my stats:
I'm 33 and have been in banking/financial services since graduating college with a B.S. in Marketing. I earned a soccer scholarship to UCF and that is the reason I chose that route. My GPA was only 2.9. I'm still very physically fit and play sports often. I've never had any issues with the law and can get glowing references from my employers. I'm recently divorced also. My grandfather and uncle were both proud Navy men. That being said - I'm old (although feel and look younger than my true age), and my degree and low GPA is not very desireable to the Navy from my understanding. If I happen to score high on the ASTB test and score high on the physical tests (run, push-ups, sit-ups) - would I be a possible consideration? My confidence level is extrememly high in my ability to exceed expectations in the Navy but I'm afraid because of my age, and lower GPA could eliminate me before I get the chance to be a consideration. Thank you to anyone who took time from their busy day to read and respond to my post. It means a lot to me. Earlier this week I put messages to recruiters but this week and next week is a tough time of year to schedule appointments but I do hope to hear from someone soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Jaime
