Update: I got 18 semester credits, so I'm a "tier-1" applicant. My enlistment papers are finished, but I took the ASVAB two years ago, so I have to retake it. My scores were fine though. I'm slacking physically, I can reach the minimums to get in, but I feel like I won't be able to keep up my strength while in basic training, so I want to exceed the minimum scores by a fair margin. I'm sure I will be ready by the time I'm out of the delayed entry program - this is so I can reach the minimum age requirement for my 18x contract - and ship out.

As for everything in my original post, my recruiter says I'm fine. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice a couple years ago, I wish you all the best.
Good luck to you and take your time if you want to be a Green Beret, you cannot hurry maturity and that is what we need.
