Bdcp Prt?

[RichardDelk]

I'm applying for SNA BDCP. I just submitted my app to my recruiter but haven't taken the ASTB yet (I'll do that next week). My question is, when do you have to take the PRT for the BDCP program? Is it after you get pro rec'd? I'd guess this is probably the same for people going straight to OCS w/o BDCP.

Thanks!

Yes, after the pro rec.

Good...that gives me more time to prepare Also, do you wait until you are pro rec'd to take the physical? I would imagine this is the case since it would be a waste of money if they didn't plan on even considering you...

How long would it be from me submitting my app to hearing if I am pro rec'd or not? Just a rough estimate would be nice, since I know it can vary a lot. Thanks

It took me about six weeks or so I think. And you are right, it can vary a lot.

I took my physical after pro-rec'd.

I took mine before I was pro-rec'd, because my recruiter was pretty sure I'd be accepted (I wasn't nearly as sure). I actually did my EPSQ and physical before pro-rec, and my PRT only a few days after, so I was able to send that information in pretty quickly, which meant that I heard back final select sooner. Going to MEPS and doing the EPSQ also helped fill the time while I was waiting to hear back.
