I leave for Navy basic training in about a month or so and i really don’t like the idea of being open contract. I found an MOS that i really like and am super interested in doing, but i’m afraid to talk to my recruiter about it because i’m not sure how much time i have to be able to get this MOS, because of asvab scores and whatnot. What should i do ?

Don’t understand. I walked into the recruitment office while in High School. Told the recruiter what I knew skill wise. (Vocational Education). What I wanted to do and finally how can the Navy help me. This recruiter blended my knowledge into a Navy job that gave me a wide range of options upon my discharge. Enlisted under the delayed enlistment program graduated high school 8 months later and shipped off to basic and the HT A school. Everything I learned as a Hull Tech allowed me to seamlessly slide into a career as a civilian. I will always be thankful to that recruiter who took the time to listen to my needs and adapted them to the needs of the Navy. A win win for both. Know what you want and speak up. You will be surprised with the results

i really wanted AO (aviation ordinanceman) or GM(gunners mate) but i guess i can’t get either of those. My recruiter told me i can’t retest for the asvab and that i only qualify to be a cook or for boatswains mate and i don’t really want either of those. It’s really difficult and stressful and i’m stuck in the S-Pact program. i’m sure it’ll work out i guess
