I don't agree. If you want to join ASAP, and there are other roles you fancy, then join.
You will have to wait another year before retaking CBAT; thereafter, many serving airmen get a 'fast-track' CBAT session if they are interested in an aptitude branch (particularly WSOp at the moment) and the required 12 months has elapsed.
You are also more likely to perform better at NCAITC if you've used the next 12 months or so as a serving airman.
