I'm a recent non-selectee of follow-on orders from OCS to BUD/S (Navy SEAL training). When I started working that package over a year ago, I wanted to apply to flight school as well, but my recruiter said it was closed up for a while.
Now he's urging me to retake the ASTB in the next few weeks to get a flight package in for the end of July. My first time taking the ASTB I scored 5/4/5/56 having not studied at all for the spatial app and nautical/aviation section. I didn't need high scores on those sections to get to SEAL training.
My O-programs recruiter said the Navy didn't hit their marks for pilots this year, and they're looking for qualified candidates who can go to OCS ASAP. Has anyone heard about this?
Also, my real question is, how much does your PRT score play into the strength of your package? My SEAL PRT scores were:
1.5 mi= 8:29 boots and pants
Push-Ups= 80 in 2 min
Sit-Ups= 90 in 2 min
Pull-Ups= 13
500 yd swim= 8:28
I noticed a lot of guys on here with scores like 7/7/7/52 who were worried that there physical shortcomings would keep them from getting selected. So I'm just trying to get the picture here.
I've got a short amount of time to get prepared to retake the ASTB and get the picture for how this works.
Any insight is appreciated!
