Crossrate From Navy Eod To Seal?


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.
