Likelihood of selection for 253 board
So I was initially going to do OCS for navy this fall but a marine recruiter reached out to me about OCS this September so I decided to give it a shot. I got my package in and rushed the pft with the intent of retaking it as I hadn’t prepared for it at all. I scored a 230 which is passing but based on my research isn’t great and they weigh this part quite heavily in their decision-making. The recruiter I’m working with submitted my application instead of recommending that I should retake it even though I could have delayed by a month to improve my pft so at the time I figured it was good enough.
Academic side:
Georgia tech engineering grad with 3.5 gpa
ASTB 9 9 8 (applying for a flight contract)
Decent work experience running my own business
Do my odds look good to be selected or will the pft score weigh me down? My strength and endurance are really strong but I just need to cut down my body weight and my pft would shoot right up. Can bench 335 lbs and ran a 21:39 3 mile but the pull-ups are where I left a lot of points behind, but I could easily get it up by the time ocs starts since I’ve been cutting weight.
