Navy Officer Recruitment - Early 2025

[Zenfuzz]

Have you actually spoken to an army officer recruiter to verify the age requirements?

Your GPA is incredibly low and it’s going to take years to even get that to within min requirements (2.8 or 3.0).

I have not. I have only recently spoken with a Navy recruiter, who is the one that confirmed that my age isn't the problem, just my GPA. It would take less than a year to get my GPA in waiver range and maybe a little more to get it above that. I have only looked into that Navy to be honest because that is where I want to be. If I am being honest, I am not sure why I am just feeling stuck on and drawn to the Navy.

Have you looked at USCG?

Why are you adamant to go enlisted? There is no avenue where that helps you, and if you wanted it so badly, you could pursue a masters and commission while being a reservist. Active duty is a huge time commitment.

I'm not adamant by any means. I am trying everything NOT to enlist but to commission. I have honestly only done research for and met with the Navy. As previously mentioned, I am honestly not sure why I am drawn more to the Navy. May be a sense of pride since my dad and stepdad have both served with the navy as well before I was born.

In no scenario will Enlisted service fix your extremely low gpa to help you get into a commissioning program. As others have said above, your low gpa and age are non-starters.

Time to find another career path. Best of luck.

I'm not claiming that enlisted will fix anything. I am just sharing what I was told vs what I am trying to do. While I appreciate that advice, I am not going to just give up because you say its time for new career path without knowing anything else other than my age and gpa.

Feel free to bypass the post if you are unable to offer any help.

My dude...he is offering help. You may not like it, but you've come on this site seeking guidance, and you've received it.

I hope you prove him wrong. Good luck.
