Does the Navy still have the Delayed Entry program?

The entry pipeline is almost all DEP. in my experience in the Navy or as a high school teacher in my civilian job, I don't know of anyone who hasn't spent at least some time in DEP.

Yes

Myself, I regret not taking advantage of it in 1975. I was part of the "OJ" speciality as it was referred to as. Had I waited out a year and a half, I would have been a CE in the Seabees.

I was in it but felt I should have never done that back then. I changed my entire military occupation at the end of boot camp and happy I did! I never knew once you are about to graduate they haul you all back to barracks and ask you; where do you want to go and what school would you like. -GOD; if I knew that long before doing BOOT CAMP in the coldest freezing winter of "GREAT MISTAKES". Well I could have even picked Hawaii as a duty station? San Diego would have been perfect back in 80s.. anywhere warm so I did and got stationed there for 3 years NAS Pensacola, FL. DEP program is just to make sure you don't skate off or possibly to over psych yourself for hell of boot camp; that's all! My opinion ,not worth it so just go in with no job upon enlistment see what you decide to do later? Never know good friend ended up wanting to fly F-14s after movie TOP GUN and actually became instructor at Miramar, Calif TOP GUN School!

As far as i know they do, but it is much harder to get in now. Big cuts in the military.

Yes they do

Yes

Don't know but they did in 1969

I think they still do.

The did when I went in in 88. I signed up in 87. This prevented me from playing NCAA football, because I signed up my junior year, and got interest in my senior year ><. Ah, well. Bells not rung.
