I need some advise

Post by Dumb@$$ »

Ok, heres my problem. Last march around the 17 I took the ASVAB with my high school. I got a 55. Well then I took it again at my Vo-Tech school about the 27th of march. At the time I didn't know about the 30 day wait period. But on that one I got a 69. Well I was reading the qualifications in the FAQs about the Opt. 40. Needing a 55 QT and a GT of 110. Well on the one i got a 55 on, I have a GT of 102. I still have about 6 months before I go to BCT. Should I re-take the ASVAB and try to get higher or what should I do?

Well, I asked my recruiter what to do about this. The question was brought up before, because I know I can do better. Well he said to me that he wouldn't recomend it. For the fact that if I do worse, what then. I still want to go through with it, I want the Opt. 40. Any advise on the matter would be of great help.

How about DOING SOME FUCKIN PUSHUPS until we get tired of watchin you. It’s obvious that your brain is oxygen deprived and your score is droppin fast

Your score may not change but lets make one thing perfectly clear, you'll never make it to Bn taking a written test. :evil:

Ranger Bugsy, I understand that I will not make it from just a written test. It's just I can't get an Opt. 40 unless i retake the ASVAB. I've been told that I can volunteer later for it, but having the Opt. 40 gives me the security of knowing that I HAVE a chance.
