    I loved it! I would never trade that experience!

    Likelihood of lateral transfer success: RL(Intel) to URL(Seal)

    This is a pretty random update, and I am sure that most were not up at night wondering about what happened in my case, but I just wanted to say that my officer recruiter is an incredible man, leader, and sailor. I ultimately ended up receiving an OCS date of 25FEB2018, and my designator was not...

    Hey! I will take you up on this, only if it is not an inconvenience for you! I arrive in Providence on Saturday, February 24, at 1700. I will pm my number to you.

    Hello All! My name is Julian, and yep you guessed it; I am checking in for this class too! I am pretty excited for this, but mostly nervous..! I am glad to see that you all seem very friendly! Also, I will be at the navy lodge as well. I arrive at the airport in Rhode Island around 1700, so I...

    I am 22, and I grew up in Hawaii since I was 5. I understand how that came across. It is not that I do not know how to swim. I just did not know that particular stroke, but I am an avid surfer of over 6 years. I have my scuba certification, and I dive occasionally, and I free dive with fins...

    I understand. Thank you for the input. This is very useful!

    Likelihood of lateral transfer success: RL(Intel) to URL(Seal)

    I really did work toward it, and I still am. I did not apply for those programs because I wanted them. I did it because my recruiter told me that it would not affect me. I told him that I did not want to, and that I would wait until the next board, but he insisted. I just do not know what to do...

    Likelihood of lateral transfer success: RL(Intel) to URL(Seal)

    I am aware that I was not ready for the PFT. I told my recruiter that I would need more time, and I clearly stated that I would wait until the following year. I am just in this predicament now because I was told that applying would not affect my chances in another board. I just made this post to...

    Likelihood of lateral transfer success: RL(Intel) to URL(Seal)

    When I took my mock PFT I did 21 pull ups, and I was told only 20 count. I now understand from everyone's comments that denying a recommendation is looked down upon. I also understand that it is difficult to even get one. I did not know this at the time, as my recruiter suggested that it does...

    Thank you. I understand. As for your suggestion, are you saying that I should apply for those communities first, then transfer? Or are you just saying that you would apply for those jobs to stay within them?

    Likelihood of lateral transfer success: RL(Intel) to URL(Seal)

    Thank you for the response. As far as stacking up against what they did, I would not be able to apply for SEAL until February 2018. As of right now. I can max the push-ups and pull-ups. I can get sit-ups in the high 70s and run is in mid 9s and swim I'm still learning. But now I have the time on...

    I originally wanted to apply for the SEAL officer program, but there were a few obstacles that I failed to navigate through. I understood the package was due by the last week of February 2017, and I knew that one of the most significant pieces of the package is the PFT. That said, my last...
