Alright great responses, thank you!
I understand I can only get e-2 out of it which is better then leaving an e-1! |

Not trying to highjack your thread but what does this test mean for someone with college degree going in as an E-3?

@ NavyPanther one important thing, would be that the START guide is a mental preparation for RTC and the future. I am also entering as an E-3, so the more knowledge you know before hand the less stress you can feel once you are there.

I think you misunderstood my question. I am not asking because I don't want to learn the start guide or anything like that. I'm not even in DEP yet and know all the ranks and the sailor creed, believe me knowledge is what I seek.

For someone who is an e-3 this test means nothing, I don't even think it counts towards your "grade". What it does do is give you an idea of the format for the rest of your tests.

I know my situation is a little different, but I've got 2 years of college under my belt and will be going in as an E-2. My goal is to pass the DEP test and first PRT and advance to an E-3 while in bootcamp. My recruiter said that this is still possible even though I'm going in higher than an E-1. So, I'm assuming it might be the same way for you, NavyPanther. Not sure though. Just offering up what I understand about the whole process!

If you're entering as an E-2, you can earn E-3 by standing out (in a positive way). RDCs can advance around 10% of their division I believe. However, if you're already an E-3, you cannot advance any further. All you can get out of boot is basically a bravo zulu on your way out the door.

Thanks that's what I thought, but was curious. I will gladly take a bravo Zulu ;)
