sassas - I think a lot of it has to do with funding. We are in an election year, and budgets have probably been used up. My son had to either go early or risk being postponed indefinitely. I don't envy your son having to wait - that is a personal pet peeve of mine. There is so much that is frustrating about the military. This is just the beginning. But I can say that joining the Navy was the best thing that ever happened to my son. It really shaped his character in incredible ways.

One of my twin sons went to bc last sept, graduated nov, then to corry for ctn Then his twin brother joined navy, secf, scheduled for shipout next week 5/17.was told at meps that he missed ctn qualifying by 1-2 points in one area on asvap, tho he made higher score than his twin bro, ctn. My son Got called in to recruiters office today by chief, and told navy had put in wrong social security nbr for him and he can't shipout in 7 days, that they've been unable to correct it!? Interesting! Anyway, so they are discharging my son, and he has to go back to meps, retake asvap etc, start all over. Sounds crazy, but , oh well. I am not complaining because my son had actually recently spoke to chief to express his concern and interest in going ctn, rather than secf. Okay, point is, this twin is married and wud appreciate the land based ctn field. My other son joined navy to travel, went ctn at meps, then learned it was land based. Lol
Soo, future sailor son was encouraged by chief to stick wth secf. But then today encountered this news. Lol
I've been praying for God's guidance and direction in my son's careers, paths, etc, and particularly wth newly married headed off to busy subs schedules. And then, this news!!! Sooo we are all schocked, yet happy for this opportunity for son to retest and possibly rerate, for what mite be a better path for him. Altho I do admit it all seems a bit concerning that outside of a God thing, that the navy cud screw up like this And not be able to fix it. He's waited past 6 mths for this upcoming day next week and many of us have planned our lives around it.
Any suggestions!! What best resources to study to enhance asvap svore. He already scored high, qualifying for secf, but wants ctn badly. Also, is there any negotiating room for him at meps? He has said if they don't give him ctn, if he qualifys, that he's gonna go meet wth airforce. Yur thoughts??

How about Saturday, June 4, somewhere off West 7th. Rodeo Goat? Thirteen Pies? Or Brewed on Magnolia? We're busy getting our sailor ready to go after that. Lunch? 2:00? 4:30? 6:00?
