So I'm interested in applying for Navy OCS. I would like to become a Surface Warfare Officer. I ordered some study materials for the ASTB, and I plan on taking the test sometime next month. My first concern is the difficulty of this test. I'm not completely incompetent but standardized tests have always been a weakness of mine. Secondly, how competitive is acceptance for this program and what does the job entail? I graduated from the University of Miami last month where I majored in Exercise Physiology and Philosophy (random I know, but I majored in what I enjoyed). My GPA was a 3.1 overall. My biggest concerns while applying are my ASTB score and my tattoo's, which I discussed in the tattoo thread. My recruiter told me that I would probably need to score a 50 on my ASTB. How difficult is this to achieve? Does having a degree, and a good GPA from a prestigious University mean more than an average, or below average ASTB score? Any feedback would be great!
