Navy Dads

My son a senior in high school aged 17 and is in the dep. When he went down to take is asvab testing he failed the depth perception test. He wanted to be an aviation machinist mate but couldn't qualify because of the failed dpt test. We were told that he could get an private eye test and that if he passe it would qualify him for aviation rates. He passed the next day with flying colors. He signed up for an advanced weapons system rate with the understanding that he could change anytime before he left for boot. It has been a couple months now the recruiter was at the house last night and still doesn't have his rate changed. Are we getting the run around here or would it really take this long to change his rate. I was also told that since he is a minor that his mother and I can cancel his contract at any time before he leaves for boot. He will turn 18 in May and we are concerned. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Larry, my son first signed on for AE/Sonar Tech. He also scored very high on the ASVAB. A new recruiter-in-charge was appointed to the office and while he was reviewing the DEPer's records saw my son's score. He called and asked if he had been offered CTI (linguist). We told him no, so he explained the program and asked if my son would like to take the DLAB test to see if he qualified. He did, scored high, and was reclassified within a week. Reclassification requires approval up the line, but we were told it was a rubber stamp, but that it could take some time anyway. Reclassification DID take another trip to MEPS for a day to meet with the classifier again.
