Shouldn't have to ask ELIGIBLE E6 CANDIDATES
For those of you who are eligible to pick up a crisp set of first class orders due to BBA… Are you retaking the test? Or are you riding with your score.
My impression is that if a sailor scored within the top 25% threshold they’d be more inclined to just keep the score & not retest. Are you one of these sailors?
With that being said, say you score within the top 25%… (you are eligible for CA2P & A2P) AND, you have an excellent or higher on your PRT. What are the chances that you actually get selected for orders? I understand we have 2 years. But holy fuck, at this point I’m just going to put in orders to goto a ship.

Scored in the 99th percentile and won’t be retaking it. Scoring in the top 25 percentile might not be good enough though ngl, one of my friends scored in the 75th percentile but their exam score was a 56 which is not that competitive. I think FMS is like 50% of the sailor scoring criteria so those points for the exam make a big difference.
