i scored a 84 on my asvab, my dream job even popped up on the board (MC). But command had given an order not to give that job out. So after being possibly the most difficult recruit and having every job that popped up then finding out it wasn't available anymore, i was reduced to 4 options. Hull maintenance of some sort, cook, machinist mate or SEA PACT, as i selected. I had been up to meps a couple of times so i was thinking screw it, i want to sign today. Now i submitting a DAR (we'll see how that goes, judging by what I've read on here) and Im hopping to get ET. BUT I'm pretty content with being on a sub. So anything besides machinist mate or cook on a sub is what I'm looking for hopefully ET or MT...

my ship date is june of 2015

So my questions

1.) What is the true chances of getting out of SEA PACT and into a Sub (since they dont seem to be a desirable way to go from what my recruiter has said)

2.) How quickly can you get out of sea pact while in, into a real rate

3.) I can ask my recruiter this but can you ask for multiple jobs on a DAR

I seriously can't believe I'm in this situation, i had thought i had set myself up enough to be in a good situation, yet i get nothing to select from...

BUT if i dont get it, ill have to man up and do the job best as possible.
