Yea, that is basically wht happens. After you are Pro Rec'd, you have to PRT and go through MEPS. Then they send it back to Naval Recruiting Command and they make sure all the i's are dotted and t's crossed and then you get "Finselected" or not, depending on your physical stuff.
Do not put off going to MEPS and getting your PRT done. Go out today and make sure you can run the 1.5 miles, do the pushups and the sit-ups; if you cannot, start working out like you read about. Depending on your schedule, get into MEPS ASAP. Do not be afraid to bug your recruiter! The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You may have some medical thing that will preclude you from processing; get all your paperwork together now! If you ever had any medical problems, hospitalizations or procedures, get your medical documentation together. It is is a long process, mostly because folks wait to get stuff together at each step rather than getting ahead of the game.
Make sure that you talk to your recruiter AND your PROCESSOR. It is the processors responsibility to make sure all your paperwork is put together properly and submitted in a timely manner. Call your processor, if you do not know him/her, ask who it is and speak to them. Ask them exactly what you need if anything and what to do next.
Okay, ideally the recruiter is driving all this but they are busier than a on-legged man in a butt-kicking contest and they may assume the processor is taking care of it. Not everyone is always on the same page as they should be and your making calls will help. It will go something like this.
"Hey, El Tee. How are you? I just wanted to see how my package is going and what I need to do?"
"Hey, Recruit. Good to hear from you, let me just check." At this point he covers the phone and asks the processor where the recruit is at. The processor tells him he needs to resend his knee surgery docs like he e-mailed the recruiter to do last week.
"Yea, got it right here. Hey, I am glad you called, my processor just now told me that you need to resend your knee surgery docs and make those changes on your motivational statement."
"Gee, thanks El Tee. I'll get right on it."
I know it sound crazy but I knew a guy once who actually let a few minor details fall off the radar. Details that were minor to him, but extremely important to the recruit. Make a few calls.
BTW is that you Hamblin?
