I have a really important question. I am currently in Navy DEP since July 2011with an EOD contract and original intention is to go SEAL. I switched from regular contract to getting EOD so that I can extend my shipping date and have more time to work on the swim portion of the pst and get it under 8:00-8:30
I was told I was allowed to switch to SEAL when my numbers get drafted (pst scores improving) so I took the EOD contract s so I have more time to work on that swim. now I most likely would have gotten a SEAL contract the first time, however, taking full time hours at school during fall
semester AND this semester I only have so much time to work out after setting hours aside to study after being at school all day. if im lucky I have time to swim 2x per week not everyday like I would want to. I have the other areas set run at sub 9:00, pushups and situps above 80, pullups going from 13-15, but swim is around 9:20
I was told by many of the recruiters at my station that I can crossrate after finishing EOD school and taking the pst test for SEAL but with way higher standards and 18 months after finishing the school. a couple of them told me I don’t have to wait 18 months because the 14 months of EOD school covers the enlistment length but instead 4 or 6 months. one of the chiefs I spoke to the other day told me that as long as I were to get really great scores on the pst after EOD training then I really wouldn’t have a problem crossrating. but then I come across some SEAL websites online saying that I cannot become a SEAL once I am an EOD because of time and money used to train EOD and how it is way undermanned. my recruiters are telling me I can still crossrate but after EOD training. the nsw affiliated websites I found state that I would have to do my entire term of EOD (my contract is 5-6years. I am about to be 22) before going SEAL. that means I would be borderline age limit AND I am sure I would not get picked up right away making it possible I miss my 28th birthday deadline. I do NOT want to miss out on becoming a SEAL. like I said I got an EOD contract to extend my ship date, did not have enough time to workout, or especially swim, as much as I wanted to and this past February I missed a deadline stating anybody with a specwar contract in the navy has til the end of february to switch contracts. my pst scores at the time were 9:20, 75, 75, 12, and 8:57 . so obviously would have been alot better without being in school full time and being able to swim everyday, working out 2x 5-6 days perweek, and staying consistent with my track/xc experience.
so my question is: Can I really crossrate from EOD to SEAL? if so when and how?
and if I cannot. I finish my semester in less than a month then no school after that. if I were to leave DEP (I ship out a week into may) to use 1 1/2 – 2months to get in the shape I wouldve been in several months ago , and citing these reasons and explaining how serious I am of becoming a SEAL and giving my detailed information of this whole long paragraph I just wrote, my other question is:
Would I be allowed back in the navy and be able to do the SEAL challenge?
at that point I can definitely pass with flying colors because I would have no school and time to do my normal workout routine.
as I said I am quite serious about this and probably shouldn’t have done full time school, however, I understand you cannot go back to school for a really long time after becoming specwar so I wanted to get as much done as possible before leaving. its not like I would leave DEP and never return. at least I wouldn’t be having the navy use money, time, and space in a class to train me in EOD which is not what I truly want to do. If I were to get a waiver for DEP re-entry would I be allowed to get a SEAL challenge? I am passionate about becoming a SEAL and I am quite serious about needing some time to fully commit to more rigorous swimming and pullup schedule. I would not let down my second chance on joining should I get a waiver for DEP re-entry.

Hi,
I have Vista Home Basic with Office 2007. I got this external hard drive, and wanted to get my outlook to save the emails on it. So I tried to cut the Outlook.pst from its original folder into a new folder created on the new HD. The process failed in the middle and canceled all. Then my outlook refused to launch, giving me the error message below. I created a new profile setting it to default, and my outlook opened showing me now two sets of personal folders (the older and the new profiles). When clicking on the older personal folders, it won’t access them prompting thhe same error message below (without the word default now). I tried repairing the .pst file using the pst scan tool as per the MS site instructions, it found errors there and said it fixed them. I changed the properties of the file to be fully shared by all users also as per MS site instructions. Still no use. The error message I’m getting is as follows (sorry if it’s not specific, I’m translating it into English since my system language isn’t English):
“Could not open the folders group. Aceess denied to file. You do not have the permission required to access the file
C:\Users\Beebo\AppData\Local\Microsoft…
The older message before creating a new default profile was the same with “default folder” instead of “folders group”.
Please note that “Beebo” above is the user name on the computer with administrative privilges (that’s me)
I would appreciate your help in this regard, all my business emails are in that account with all clients’ and invoicing information. I’m in deep trouble becuase of this crazy step I attempted, and don’t know how to solve this out :S
