IF I had a bachelors degree in biology and had spent two years over sea's with the peace corps would I be a...?

Question

good candidate for Navy OCS?

Keyword IF and by the time I did it I would be 24.

I've only been to a resort in Mexico.

Answer 1

I am pretty sure it is not gonna fly if you joined the peace corps AND THEN joined the Navy. I don't know what the article or offical policy is but I do remember being asked if I was a member of the peace corps. At the very least, it will be hard to get a clearance for obvious reasons.

Answer 2

yes, so long as you stay in shape and stay out of credit and legal trouble the navy will take you and you will become an officer.



You could also get a science related officer slot, but be warned that these positions are highly selective and normally require a masters degree.



edit



the peace corps is not going to prevent you from getting a security clearence - lol



military reservists can even defer contract time to go on a peace corps mission. Just make sure to keep contact information on those you worked with overseas because you will need it for the clearence.

Answer 3

Naval recruiters are everywhere. The fact that you were in the peace corps might hurt you but I don't know the official rules. Your degree looks good and would get anyone into an officer program; also advanced promotion is available to anyone with 60 hours of college credits or more... But anyway 24 isn't a factor.. Like I said, don't ask yahoo ask Ssgt. Navy at your nearest recruitment office, he can let you know... Find a recruiter near you at... http://www.navy.com/findarecruiter/

Answer 4

Yes you would. But help me understand:



Why do you need Peace Corps? If you have a college degree why not just go straight to OCS if that's your goal?



Good luck!

Answer 5

Nope,



Peace Corps will prevent you from receiving a Top Secret SBI security clearance.
