Hello, my apologies if something similar has been asked before, but after searching the forums I have not found anything to help me.
I am currently getting a college certificate, to be awarded August 2015. I start my college diploma September 2015, and I receive my diploma August 2016 (accelerated program, 3 semesters only). I would like to join the Navy as soon as I am finished my diploma, so I plan to start my application sometime in June 2016, as the average person on the forum seems to take 3-4 months.
I am wondering if I could start my application earlier than June 2016. Hopefully I am sworn in, but what if BMQ starts before I receive my diploma? I am sorry if this is not clear, I am asking if I could start my application this September, and if I am sworn in, could I delay BMQ for September 2016 for education reasons? I would like to know if I am accepted sooner rather than later, so I can give up my dream of joining the Navy if I am rejected (most likely due to medical reasons), and focus on a new career path after graduating.
Any help is welcome, I wanted to ask the recruiters on the forums before talking to one in person.
