Hey guys,
I am currently enrolled in a college that cannot do BCDP (too old for rotc, 25) and I recently decided that I really want to go Naval Aviator
I am prior service aircraft maintenance in the Airforce so parts of me feel pretty confident about certain aspects of this test, I just got back into college after like 5 years and im only on my second quarter so im rather shaky on my math skills at the moment.
I talked to a recruiter and he told me that I should take the ASTB sometime and if I get competitive scores to just focus on graduating as fast as possible
My options if I do good on the ASTB:
- Switch my current degree program (Computer Science) from 5 years to 4 years
- Switch to General Studies and graduate within 2 or less years ( I already have 100 quarter hours completed)
- Switch to a career focused degree for pilot (Physics etc) for 4 years
OR
-Switch colleges to a college that does not have an ROTC program so that I can do the BCDP program
My current GPA is 2.45, I just got back into college and got hit hard with life (getting out of the military etc) so I was pretty overwhelmed this quarter, this current quarter is going slightly better but still alot of life problems (mostly B grades right now)
The hunch I have is I have been studying for a couple of days now, other than math I feel alright with the other subjects, I had a hunch to take the test just to see where I am at.
I also want to figure out what im doing relatively fast (if I have to switch majors or not) etc because I could improve my grades much more if im not taking computer science classes, so im feeling a little pressured to take the test early.
What are some thoughts you guys have about this?
Another problem with this studying is it eats a big chunk of my time from studying for my classes so I feel like im already falling behind for classes
