Should I push my ship date back.

My official ship date is May 6th. I have an IFT tomorrow as well as next month if I needed another attempt.

I’ve been working very hard and have seen improvements in all my stats, but even so I still feel the need for time.

I don’t want to just pass. I want to be a leader.

With all that being said, I don’t know if it’s bad to try and push my official ship date back. I know it will change when I make the IFT, but I’m worried about not being ready by time I enter.

Should I talk to my recruiter and is it bad to ask that?
