Stoked, I raised my scores, but I am still wishing I did one point higher in the pilot score.

6/6/7 56 - first
7/7/8 63 - second

Sorry, I didn't come on here for a while. I recently moved and have been super busy. I wanted to retake the tests for two reasons.

1.) I knew I was capable of far better. With just a little bit of studying, I bumped them up. With more, and an actual guideline, I figured I could pull 8 or 9.
2.) My recruiter showed me what a competitive profile looked like, and it had 7/8/8 59. I wanted to get myself into that range. He said that the 63 was very helpful as "Even though a 59 is the highest 50 you can get, getting in the 60s puts you in a different category.

I just want to make sure I get my spot. It sounds to me like if your recruiter likes you and thinks you are a good fit, it makes all the difference in the world. He mentioned going to bat for one guy and even though it took 6 months and speaking to an admiral, it happened. I should be submitting to the May board as that will allow me to take my physical in June according to my recruiter. That way, I don't have to wait around while my 6 month time period for the eye surgery is happening.

Good Job! However, your scores were already COMPETITIVE. The board doesn’t just look at your ASTB they look at the whole person so your score maybe better but you could have probably got in with your original scores if the board liked you. So saying, “I am still wishing I did one point higher in the pilot score.” and “I just want to make sure to get my spot.” basing your entire package off your ASTB score is completely inaccurate. Your ASTB helps but it is not a guarantee by any means. Don’t believe me look at the last board when there are individuals with 8’s and 9’s across the board not getting accepted and individuals with 5’s and 6’s getting picked up. Good Luck in the May boards!

Does anyone think that this would be a competitive package for the NAVY. I am applying with the Marines right now and waiting to go get my flight physical next week. I am torn with what service to go into. I have done a lot of research and talking to various people. Any suggestions or insight would be awesome. Thanks!
