Latest Navy Eligibility Changes
April 13th, 2011
A few of the instructional changes that became effective today.
The days of the 15 year old sneaking off to join the military have long since past, and now, age restrictions are becoming more stringent. Because of the restrictions placed on minors being assigned to combatant units, those 17 years of age may enlist into the Delayed Entry Program, but may not leave for boot-camp prior to their 18th birthday, unless their 18th birthday will occur no later than 60 days from date of leaving for boot-camp. This policy change also applies to Future Sailors currently in the Delayed Entry Program as well as all new contracts written on or after today.
The Cryptologic Technician – Networks (CTN) rating entry ASVAB requirement has increased to AR+2MK+GS=235 or VE+AR+MK+MC=235 from a previous 222 total.
The previous change notice that affected the academic eligibility requirements for the Nuclear Power Program has been fully incorporated.
The Navy Challenge Programs (SEAL, SWCC, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Diver, Aircrew Rescue Swimmer, and the Underwater Construction Team) clarified the medical disqualifying conditions and those that potentially could be waived.
Change 1 – per instructional change that occurred September 20, 2011 which states, “17 year old Future Sailors may not ship prior to their 18th birthday, unless their 18th birthday will occur no later than 60 days, vice 90, from date of shipping.” Change is now reflected throughout the Website.
