I took the ASTB today and scored 59 6/5/6. I'm satisfied with the OAR but the other 3 scores were a little disappointing. We're exactly 31 days out from the August board submission date, so I can't retake the ASTB before then. Am I at any disadvantage by submitting an application for the August board with these scores? (As in, is there a limited number of times you can submit an application for SNA)? I know there's a good chance I won't get accepted, but if I do get accepted, then I won't have to worry about reapplying later on.

They have a high number of spots already filled, a high number of people at board compared to spots available and I can't remember when a SNA was picked up with 5 PFAR.

Study and retake, if you wait until the board is done it will be September and by then the Nov board will probably be filled so then you would be looking at March 2023

Typically how soon do these boards fill up? I'm going to MEPS next week so it seems like every day matters at this point.

no one really knows until they get to the point of being filled, however It doesn't matter if a person is the first or last sent to the board, it is about how good is the ASTB.

Thank you. One last question - would it be possible to submit an application for the August board and then rescind it if necessary? (like if I retook the ASTB in July, and used that ASTB score for the November board). I would rather guarantee a spot on the November board with a better ASTB score than stay on the August board at this point.

Once you retake the ASTB it invalidates any previous scores and the application has to be resubmitted, NRC would need to reject it, you create more work for no benefit.

Do you know where I can find that pdf file of all of the board dates for fy2022? (or fy2023 if that's been released... I've been searching for it but have had no luck). How would you know that there's going to be a board in March?

edit: found it. https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Porta..._18_OCT_2021.pdf?ver=nSee95afhMOB_nKo8_Rx_Q==

According to the spreadsheet from the 24 MAY 21 thread, someone with a 6 got a PROREC-Y, but that's about the lowest I've seen.

Sometimes things happen, even strange things happen. I had a person I sent to OCS and had a reaction to something he ate at OCS, never had an issue with that food before but it was determined to be a food allergy and that resulted in him being DQ'd for nuke and redesignating.

You just do what you can do to set yourself up for success and hope for the best.

Would a peanut allergy be DQing for SNA??

I believe it is disqualifying from even joining, and if not it would most likely prevent you from many jobs just based on those that I know who developed food allergies/sensitivities while already in the service.
