My friend's dad is an Army recruiter, and I showed a bit of interest in it so he took me down to the recruiter's office today. I spent a good five or six hours there, talking to different people, getting a general idea of which fields I could go into.
I took a practice ASVAB with a bunch of other prospective members. They scored between 36 and 50-something. "The test is a bit harder than the actual ASVAB, so don't sweat what you get," my recruiters told me. Taking it I wasted about five minutes on the math portions because it had been a year since I took a math course, and my brain had forgotten how to do it. Anyway, it caught on after a while and I tore right through it.
I got an 89. For those of you unfamiar with the ASVAB, a 76 or above basically qualifies you for any non-officer job out there - and whatmore this was on a "harder practice test."
I'm heading to Phoenix this weekend for my physical and the actual ASVAB test. My friend's dad will head out there with me and attempt to argue a good contract, which I have no doubt will be easy to get. I have no criminal record, I'm in great physical condition and I'll have a nice 80+ on the ASVAB.
I like the sound of, "Military Intelligence," don't you?
