Contacting a Recruiter

[sil]

How do I go about contacting an officer recruiter. I've tried signing up on the Navy's website but their links are out of date and I get nothing but error messages.

I don't know of any recruiting stations around here (Norfolk, VA). The only person I've contacted is my former NROTC recruiter but he hasn't gotten back with me as of yet.

I would think it to be hard to not find a recruiter in Norfolk.

And here in lies the problem that we have seen cropping up quite frequently lately......going to that number will get you a Navy Recruiter - an enlisted Navy Recruiter who is not versed in officer programs, who does not care about officer programs and who has a quota to fill. He will tell the officer hoperful it is better to enlist and try for OCS from the ranks.

So please, if you are going to pass a phone number, web site or point of contact - make sure it is for an Officer Programs Officer and not a local recruiting office.

When I first was interested I spoke to an enlisted recruiter without realizing I was at the wrong place. The guy was pretty cool though. The second he found out that I wanted to be an officer and I had the grades for it, he gave me the officer recruiter's card and sent me on my way.

Read some of the previous posts on recruiters. Many are great, actually I would think they are in the majority. But there are the few that can ruin it for the officer wannabe's.

When I was initially interested in BDCP I had the hardest time getting in contact with a recruiter. I had not found this website, so that would have helped. The only way I was able to talk to the recruiter was to talk to a guy who was in BDCP already. It would be nice if the Navy had an easier way to get contact information.

That guy should get a NAM considering some of the stories we've seen on this forum with enlisted recruiters pulling their shennanigans.
