It depends. If you’re wanting to be a specwar, you can’t pick that straight meps, so you have to pick a rate. Once you are in the dep program you are now allowed to workout with the specwar scout and complete a pst to get selected for said specwar rate.

2nd we tell applicants to pick a rate at meps because what we won’t do is continue to send you to meps for you to be “qualified no enlistment” “QNE” to be sent back down there. Plus you will have to convince the Chief Recruiter “Master Chief” to send you back down there. The navy spends $100s in hotels, meal vouchers, etc. Applicants are there to join the Navy. While you are in the program allow recruiters to work their magic and send a request to change said rate because these conversations are being said higher than the recruiter. I switched somebody’s rate 3 times in a two month time spans and they ended up wanting to get the rate they originally signed for because of the bonus which was already offered from the get go.

You can pick SpecWar out of MEPS now, you don’t need a rate anymore, so you go from boot camp straight to BUDS Prep and then to BUDS. If you DOR then you are at the mercy of the needs of the Navy regarding a rate, but a good amount of them seem to be rerated as rescue swimmers, dry aircrew or in some cases even EOD or SWWC

As per the new recruitman applicants still have to pass the pst, and they can’t take the pst without being in the dep program. It’s based if you can the pst “physical strength test” air crew is not specwar, but air rescue swimmer is considered specwar. This is just to contract before bootcamp

We had a CR that said if you QNE you aren't coming back and he held to that.
