How would that work, Pilgrim? If you aren't medically qualified for any officer programs, why would you be medically qualified for an enlisted one?
I meant more along the lines of if you break a leg during an exercise. I don't know how intensive OCS is so I'm just assuming something like that could happen.
I'm not exactly keen on the idea of being placed as an undesignated striker should something unfortunate happen but I'll talk to my recruiter about it next time I talk to him.
Forgive my lack of knowledges, but as a Naval Officer, I've never heard the term "undesignated Striker"...??
An undesignated striker is an E-1 to E-3 that has not yet chosen or been assigned a rate.Forgive my lack of knowledges, but as a Naval Officer, I've never heard the term "undesignated Striker"...?

Their problem is that they might not get the chose option.
Rog. I figured that's what it was from context. Just never heard the exact term "undesignated striker" before.
Then apparently you didn't read your BDCP contract, because those words were in there.
I may not understand the enlisted side (or much of the vocab, I learn as I read), but how is that an enlisted sailor is not assigned a rate? On the officer side of things we have communities, if a sailor is 'undesignated', does that really just mean they are the 'handyman' that does whatever needs to be done.
Other than checking for the words SNA, 8 years and such, I couldn't care less.
I didn't pay much attention to the details.
For the record, you both have the collective IQ of a screen door. I hope when you two buy your first houses you read more than just the words 'Home Loan' at the top of the paperwork before signing.
You guys are the same jackasses you see on the news that constantly get anally raped by variable interest rates and predatory loans and then whine about how 'unfair' it all is after you've signed the dotted line without looking....
The way it was explained to me (or maybe in the bdcp contract), was that if you didn't Commission then you would be required to serve X (2?) years as an undesignated stryker, if you wanted to pick a job/rate/whatever, you could, but it was going to be more than X (2?) years and out.
