I scored a 98 on the ASVAB and according to the AFQT I passed the NUC qualification mark with a 256. However, my recruiter was telling me though that my High School transcripts wouldn't allow me into the nuclear field since the majority of my high school years I screwed around and my grades suffered because of it. I'm in my senior year currently, taking pretty much all of the Honors and AP classes that are available with the motivation to actually succeed this time around.
I'm definitely going to be getting my diploma and graduating, but I was wondering if the scrutiny on that fact was due to the Navy not needing many Nukes at this time even if I was only a point off from auto-qualification, and if there was any way I could somehow still get into the Nuclear program before my ship date (Aug 27th).
Thanks!
