Welcome to the Site, Zero. Nice introduction, just be aware of all the rules and read the FAQ's out there. Tread softly on here, and you will have all the help you would ever need. I for one, no nothing of recruiting, but there are those on here that do. Someone will be around to square you away soon...

question

Post by jason11x »

I commend you in your determination in accomplishing your goal of being a Soldier and more so, a Ranger.
What specific actions make you think that your recruiter is screwing you?

As for the ASVAB, I went to my local library & borrowed the following books:

Master the ASVAB by Scott A. Ostrow
Edition 20th ed.
Publisher Lawrenceville, NJ : Thomson Peterson's, c2006.
Paging xiii, 631 p. : ill. ; 28 cm.
Notes 20th ed. consists of book only and no CD. 3rd ed. has book and CD

McGraw-Hill's ASVAB basic training for the AFQT by Janet E. Wall
Publisher New York : McGraw-Hill, c2006.
Paging xiii, 317 p. ; 28 cm.
Summary 8 full-length model subtests with explanations. Detailed coverage of the AFQT arithmetic reasoning, math knowledge, word knowledge, and paragraph comprehension subtests. Drills and exercises to sharpen your verbal and math skills

I found these books to be quite helpful. Helped me get an AFQT score of 89 w/ Army composite scores all over 120. Here's a link to a brief explanation of the scores - http://www.army.com/enlist/asvab_score.html

Your recruiter and your counselor at MEPS (when you process-in for your physical and contract) will look at your ASVAB scores to determine what potential MOS you would qualify for. Obviously, they would also consider other factors in helping you determine what MOS. Other factors include but are not limited to age, education level, law violations, & citizenship (for security clearances). Overall, the better you do in the ASVAB, the better chance you have in getting into the MOS you want. Good luck!!
