Retesting Of Future Sailors
June 4th, 2008
Navy Future Sailors, while in the Delayed Entry Program who were contracted as “will grads,” and who have completed all their graduation requirements, or completed at least one accredited college-level course at a college or university after DEPping, are eligible to retest on the ASVAB without being attrited from MIRS or PRIDE. The following guidelines apply:
(a) Retesting is strictly voluntary.
(b) The Future Sailor must have been in the DEP a minimum of six months before retesting.
(c) Eligible Future Sailors are allowed only one retest.
(d) The retest score becomes the score of record. To mitigate the potential for loss of qualifications, all initial contracts will be honored for Navy enlistment and job entry, regardless of test score fluctuation, provided the AFQT score is 10 or higher. The Future Sailor retains program eligibility for his/her current rating/program even if the retest line scores are lower and would normally render the Future Sailor ineligible.
(e) Existing ASVAB retest policy applies to DEP retesting. Future Sailors must wait the requisite time period based on the number of pre-DEP tests taken. It is imperative that the Future Sailor’s test history is provided to ensure proper retest intervals are met and to ensure the correct test version is administered for the DEP retest.
(f) The Future Sailor shall be projected for retest by submitting a DEP Action Request (DAR).
(g) Retests will be administered only at MEPS. MET site retesting is prohibited.
(h) A Confirmation Test will be required if there is a gain of 20 or more points between the most recent test score and the previous test score.
Make sure you take the pretest in your Recruiter’s office prior to taking the retest. Your contract will be honored even if you tank it (as long as you get above a 10), but keep in mind the retest will be the score that follows you to the fleet, and could have an impact if you choose to change jobs during your career. Before making the request ensure you’re ready!
