Squid got his asvabs back today but internet searches on how to interpret the data have, thus far, yielded nothing that helps. From the way I'm currently reading it he's either a genius or or a mouth breathing dolt.
Anybody know how to interpret this stuff?
-
A friend of mine just retired as a USMC recruiter. I could ask him if ya like.
-
Anything would be a help right now. It 'looks' good to me but I'd like to research possible mos's that he could explore with the recruiter when we get to that step.
-
Shoot me a PM, I'll call him this evening and see if it's ok for me to give out his number.
-
It's just an aptitude test.
If he spelled his name correctly, he passed.
If his GT score is above 110, he passed with flying colors.

This will help.

I know somebody who got a 90, they told him he could do whatever he wants!
I know somebody else who got a mid 50, he was told he too can do whatever he wants too even be a heli pilot!
soo uhh. :uhoh

ya it's a bit confusing and I'm sure it's relatively simple to understand once you have the proper information. I can joke about it but this is Squids future so I want to give him as much advice and info as I can and let him make his own decisions.
-
I got a 96 out of 100 for the total score deal they give ya. GT score was 128. I originally was going into the Navy to be trained as a nuclear engineer (and end up on a carrier or sub). It just so happened the Army recruiter was directly across the hall from my Navy one. One day when I walked out into the hall to leave, the Army recruiter talked me into coming over & talking with him. Needless to say, the Army recruiter stole me from his Navy counterpart, and the rest is explosive history. If I'd gone the Navy route, I'd probably have a lot less scars & have all my original body parts, but I'd probably glow in the dark! :lol I'd be making big bucks in the civi world though going the nuclear route. :cry
-
actually when it comes down to decision time I'd really appreciate your input <S>
-
If you get a 50 you can NOT do whatever it is you want. I got a 98 and my recruiter kept telling me to go intel. My friend who joined with me didn't do so hot. Did NOT qualify for intel.

one of my cadets is a marine now. he's done 2 tours....one in iraq, and just came back from afganastan(i was worried poopless about him there). a mutual friend has told me he's kinda effed up in the head rightnow.....but i can check to see if he'd mind talking if you like?

slightly unrelated, but I have a question for you mil/exmil folks. I'm planning on enlisting in the airforce after getting my bachelors in Aerospace Engineering at CalPoly. In other words, probably will be some time between 3-5 years depending on when I can transfer. What can I do during that time in order to make it easier on me besides physical training/working out? I hope to fly one way or another and (not trying to brag) am very intelligent (scored in the top 1-.75% on the ACT) with 1 question off of a perfect score in science.
tl;dr Joining airforce after college to fly, what do i do before then?

If it makes you feel better, all the ex-nukes I work with at nuclear plants seem to make less than most who went the college route instead

Probably best to leave him alone on this one Cap but thanks as always.

If you leave him alone, he'll simply stew in his own juices. Get the poor soul some help!

you know not about what you speak. i've been in contact with his mother, a close friend of mine, who is just like a second mother to him, and her husband. the best thing for him right now, is for everyone to butt out, and let him sort it out.
i'll probably be calling him soonz as the weather clears, and get him started on his hot rod again. he has an 11 second mustang. time to make it faster.

I meant on anything military related. Better to get him focused on moving forward with the rest of his life. I have a deep respect for people who have served thus I tend to err on the side of caution when dealing with someone who has deployed to a combat area.
This community is freaking awesome with the depth and broadness of information and help on a variety of subjects and I enjoy utilizing that information.
But I do not want anything I do to cause any person any emotional duress. Thus best to leave him alone on this subject.
