“I got the call.....”


When talking about their selection status.

Thanks for your reply~ that makes sense! I was just asking about it because I live overseas~ So I don’t think they’ll be calling me. I’ll just keep in contact with my recruiter and hopefully he tells me when he finds out~

Why did it take that long? Have you applied before?

No, the Marine Corps wouldn’t approve the waiver for my tattoos then MEPS wouldn’t approve my enlisted application. I had my medical cleared through Dodmerb/Beaumed. This is my first time applying for Navy OCS and everything has been approved so far. I can’t wait to leave for OCS!

I run a large recruiting station. Come across hundreds of people who want to join, 90% of everyone who I encounter DO NOT qualify. So if you are on this board just be thankful you get the opportunity. Even if you don't get selected, there is always next time.

I know the navy is the most lax when it comes to tattoos but what on earth would you have that the marines flat out said no to? Sorry just curious.

I have a full sleeve and everything got approved within 3 days.

The qualification ratio blows my mind. What do you see as the biggest reason people are disqualified?

The biggest reasons people don’t qualify are mental as in passing the ASVAB/OAR/ASTB, moral: having charges, physical: disqualifying medical issues. Being qualified for military service is challenging and less then 20-25 % even qualify, and those who chose to join out of who qualifies is less then 1% of the population.[/QUOTE]
