First you have a 3.0, but then a 2.96, then you ask if naming your university would help any, then you come out and say you didn't even break 1k on your SATs. Isn't the lowest score on each section like 300? Navy Nuke is most likely only taking cream of the crop.
So you found out your LT recruiter makes 85k? How long has he been an LT? Did you care to ask what an Ensign would make? It takes 4 years to make LT. I've been at my plant for just under 4 years and almost hit the 85k mark my second year, all without going underway or moving.
If you REAAALLLY want that leadership education and experience and genuinely have the desire to serve the country, then continue looking at the armed forces, but realize you probably won't end up in a nuke billet. If you want a nuke career, stay on track with school and try to convert your internship into a job offer. Leadership is a skill you can develop outside the military.
Thank you for your input, but i estimated my gpa to 3.0 but it is relatively near a 2.96 and i did not ask if naming my university is important. If you see the comment before that, he asked why i was keeping my university a secret because in my post i stated "I go to a accredited university".
ALSO i do know how much a O-1 ensign makes before any other rank because of the research i did and i asked him personally. I plan on finishing my school before anything else. On my SATs i got a 540 and 450, so yeah that is not on the 300 level. I came out with the SATs after i got declined with the pre screen because i did not think the NAVY still cares about my SATs while im almost done with college. Is there any more assumptions you will like to jump on and question me for?
I appreciate you sharing personal experience, i am also looking at my options from college to industry as well so that is not out of the picture. I just will take my SATs again soon and see how i score on them again.
