Two unrelated questions:
1. I've read some old threads on here where people talk about Navy intel hiring being a long shot because they've already accepted so many people and there is a backlog for people to start OCS. What is the situation going to be like in 2014? I started the process and talked extensively with a recruiter in 2013, but decided to wait until this year for personal reasons. The recruiter hasn't gotten back in touch with me since I reached out again, but I imagine that's because it is still the holidays.
2. I know intel applicants have to take the ASTB (which is how I find myself at this site to begin with, looking for ASTB gouges), but read that the ASTB has changed to be some kind of interactive joystick experience. I assume that the non-OAR portions are still the same--is that right? The recruiter was never straightforward with me about how much the non-OAR portions of the ASTB matter for intel applicants, so I thought I'd ask here. Especially given the new ASTB, how much does your non-OAR score affect your application? I am ready to take the OAR at any time, but have no idea where to start with studying the other sections. All the gouge links on this website are old / broken.
Thanks.
