My question is if I put in a packet would I stand a chance to be looked at?

You&#39;re probably reading the portion under ACASP which allows civilians to join the Army with certain skills and bypass AIT plus receive an advanced promotion.<br />MOS 17C is an application, meaning you have to apply to the MOS and receive an acceptance letter.

Accepted after about 6 wks. Fast forward a couple years after awaiting adjudication of the clearance, and I&#39;m graduating JCAC ahead of plenty of folks with such pieces of paper as you describe. The line scores on the other hand... I&#39;m not aware of them ever being waived.

That being said, I had a lot of college towards a bachelors plus experience in the field. You can get in without it, but you need to be competitive somehow.
