Hello. I recently received my Navy Nuke contract with a ship date for February 18th, 2015.
Here were my qualifications:
GED
58 hours of college credit hours towards a degree in Mechanical Engineering
94 on asvab
262 nuke score
69/80 on NAPT
No financial debt or run ins with the law.
Originally, I had to chose a secondary while I waited for my academic waiver. I decided to go with MT just for the advancement and SSBI clearance.
Over a month after being approved and signing my new Nuke contract, I got a text from my recruiter about the 2 year period between when I dropped out of high school and when I began college. Confused, I told him I worked a few jobs over that time to pay rent until I decided to attend my nearby university. I then asked if this was an issue. He responded with a vague "not sure". After speaking with my nuke coordinator, I was told that my contract was in the process of being pulled because that 2 year gap sent a red flag up for someone somewhere. They needed all the info from the jobs I worked. In total, there were six. A couple were 2 jobs at once to make ends meet. Since then I have become much more financially stable. They said they would submit the info and see what they can do to save it.
My question is this: is this something that anyone else has dealt with or heard of and does anyone know if this obstacle can be overcome?
My main fear (besides losing my precious nuke contract) is that I will be in this "limbo" of not knowing until after next year begins due to all the recruiting departments shutting down starting dec 18th
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
