So even showing that I know some basics doesn’t really help me that much?

Are the results out yet? Or is this a prescreening of sorts?
Take this with a grain of salt. It seems that someone had their OAR waiver denied by this board.

Historically IWC picks very heavy on those with tech degrees (usually CW/IW/IP are about 90% tech picks and Intel is less), they don't really look at certificates as they are looking more at degree and GPA. If you were going for reserve then they would really be looking at certificates and the degree.I just got it to be more competitive for cw
Enlisted with a degree. I was 4 years in before my Commander would let me apply for OTS. I was finally selected at the 9 year mark for OCS. Unless you have good leadership that will let you apply right away it will be years after you join before you can apply. the plus side it all counts for retirement! Now i can retire as an O3 or push for O4 I get to choose not the Navy.As a currently enlisted application, don't. You are 30 years old and married. Commissioning is generally not something you can do until your first command, and is up to COs discretion once you do check onboard.
If you have the qualifications and the desire to commission, wait the extra few months and go that route. Enlisting first will only add potentially years to your timeline, and the quality of life and job is drastically different.
