Just out of curiosity and because I was reading the 1420.1b. Has anyone ever commissioned with a OAR score of 35 or anything less then that?
Also, SWO community are there age waivers for active duty that of selected would be 35 when they go to OCS??
I am asking if anyone has ever commissioned with a low score like that. And it has been known that not everyone that has a high score and has commissioned is great at their job. Good test takers are not all great leaders.
Threadjack - some of the PAs list marital status as criteria. Was there ever a time where you were ineligible for a program if not single?
Which ones? The PAs are in the process of being revised and I don’t remember seeing one mentioning that you must be single.
USNA is the only commissioning program I know of where you can’t be married.
It’s very rare, but the whole purpose of a PA is to enforce the applicant quality pool. If a certain community wanted folks with lower OAR scores they would have done so.
Also, tests are the backbone in the Navy. For enlisted advancement you need to pass a test. For schooling, you take tons of tests. If you don’t have the skills to pass tests it doesn’t matter how “good” of a Navy leader you are. You need to pass academic tests at OCS and throughout your Navy schooling as an officer.
It was just a response.It was just a question
