With a 60 9/9/8 I wouldn't worry too much if I were you! Those are AMAZING scores and I've seen people get picked up with 5s and 6s!

I stressed for ages about the ASTB and needless to say I'm pleasantly surprised with how I did! But I am sweating bullets over my timeline. I need to start OCS by around 10 Jan to commission in time for SNA.

I put off the ASTB for WAY too long too... And still never studied. I think that was my downfall- I just couldn't get myself to cram it in with school. But my scores turned out okay! So I'm not too worried, I have a few years to reapply. But it seems like they work well with the age critical people! So seriously, don't worry! I'm sure you've got this!

Scores are hell of a lot better than mine LOL, I took 2 months between work, PT time, and trips between states to catchup on things I was rusty on from college days. Working with plants and bacteria with out really applying physics and what not oxidized a few areas of my brain. I went in thinking I probably had to take it again, but hey it turned out well and I hope my experience as an individual helps bolster my packet. But dude, being AGE CRITICAL BLOWS and I am sweating bullets with this timeline stuff. Here's to hoping things workout, as I am not gonna stop if this road block appears.

I got picked up in the last board and my OCS date is 29Nov15. I'm not age critical, so hopefully that gives you some hope of a short Pro Rec Y to OCS timespan.

Make sure your recruiter pushes for your OCS date hard once you get selected since you are age critical. And don't let them tell you it's not possible, I worked at a recruiters office and have watched it happen. Kid turns 27 4 weeks after expected commission, he's at OCS now. They gave him a 3 week roll buffer.

My bet would be late November through early December. That is about 8-10 weeks since the previous board.

It's a rolling board, so it's anybody's guess.

Since my recruiter told me that they are "tracking my timeline", does that mean I may or may not be able to submit for the next boards due to age? I've tried asking my recruiter but his replies are unclear as to what it might mean for me. All I know is that it is with the processing manager and that they are working together on my packet and focusing on my timeline. Seeing how birthday is early April, if the boards convene in late November or Early December would it be too late for me? What @KnightFlight said was somewhat confirmed by my recruiter, though he would not say an exact yes. Also would I be allowed to get a flight physical with the Marine Corps without actively affecting my status of my packet if submitted, assuming all is okay with my timeline?
Did they up the age limit?
Haha false. They are really there to just send your info where it needs to go.
But the ASTB has ultimatly almost no bearing. Its used for a PRO REC and that's it not an indicator for how well you will do.
What? I watched a buddy lose aviation because he was turning 27 3 days after commission. If you werent there to see it it prob didnt happen. Doesnt sound like the Navy.
