Sounds like your ASVAB score wasn't so bad, after-all. Amarillo AFEES insisted I take that test. I had my heart on Naval aviation. Took a half arsed stab and was told I (Agent Smart voice) missed it by that much (/Agent Smart voice). On hindsight, I probably shoulda gave it a better try. Lots of 'Nukes' landed decent civilian jobs in the industry. Kudos to them.
