Tomorrow, i'm going to take my test and im sorta nervous not about the test but if i qualify for at least 1 job. Wish me luck!!!!

Best of luck to you Bella...have no worries you will do just fine and make us all proud!

Funny thing is i go and take my test tomorrow also i am going to the Detroit meps. I have a few questions though how long does it usually take to complete the computerized version? And do I need to bring anything else besides the paperwork like pencils, pens, paper or etc? Thanks for all the help so far and wish me and Bella luck.

Bring your photo ID and social security card.

My recruiter told me it would take about 2hrs or less...Good Luck!!

Thanks Capt....i will try and do my best

I went to MEPS on monday/tuesday to take the ASVAB and the physical. My recruiter told me I needed at least a 70 to even be considered as an applicant and told me I needed to make like a 80-90 to be competitive.

Well..at the end of the test they gave me my test scores and was a bit depressed when I saw my score: "AFQT: 69"

Ohh well I could come back in 30 days and take it again I thought. So I finished up at MEPS and my recuiter came and picked me up. "So, what date do you want to ship out?" I was thinking he must have thought i was someone else. We talked and as it turns out, I AM going to bootcamp.

I still cant believe that I got in with a 69!

Just remember, the recruiters don't just look at the test score but also your personality,moral and self confidence.


Good luck Bella and JDW you will do fine.

Thanks i will keep that in mind

Thanks I am not worrying a lot but you have to a little bit or theres something wrong. I am going to bed now. I will post how i did tomorrow after i get done and maybe me and Bella will both get good scores.

Good luck Jdw21...knock some ASVAB scores out of the ball park!

Mr. Magic...way awesome...enjoy journey and boot camp vacation!

Good luck to both of you!!! Let us know how you did.

Mr Magic, good job. I hope you get the date you are looking for.

Thanks Guys!!! Well i took my test yesterday and to my surprise the test was fairly easy...idk maybe it was just me but i think i did good on it at least i hope i did. I have to wait to hear from my recruiter today to see if i passed or not!

I am sure you did...GREAT!

Yeah, that ASVAB test is deceiving...I was suprised how quick and relatively easy it was.

well i got my scores today and i wish i had done better i got an afqt score of 72 and i am wondering where that would put me.

A 72 is a good score, and it should qualify you for most jobs. Great job!

thanks for giving me some hope Cooch, i added all of my scores up and i qualify for every job but my recruiter is going out of town next week and has a conference the following week so he told me to call him the last of the month. Well i hope i can be considered a good applicant with a 72 and i hope i can be in Cape May one day.

Hold your head up high Jdw21...you did well!

Nothing quite like your recruiter putting you on ice for 2 weeks making you wait in ice cold anticipation before knowing if you can move forward in the process...I like him...lol

I know i dont like him just leaving me hanging lol, but i will try and stay busy and will see what happens.

Don't stress. It's a good score. Based on what I know about you, I would put you in with that score. That's the same score I got back in the day lol.

lol, but back in the day it was also a lot easier to get in.

All this back in the day talk one would think Cooch was like 80 something...HAHAHAHA

Back in the day a good fishing hole or a buddy could get you in the fire service...now a completely different story...we will know more about you then you will know about yourself...

For some reason we keep raising the ladder rungs higher and higher…

Fire service was my choice of job up until i decided on the coast guard because i took a emt class this last year of high school but decided otherwise as you see. and if cooch was any where near 80 years old he would be a whole lot wiser than he is. lol but in my opinion he is wise enough.

I truly believe that you have made a very wise career choice for yourself...excellent decision!

Although the decison to call cooch unwise...not so wise...HAHAHAHA :-)

Hey i did not call him unwise he is just not wise as an 80 year old. lol

Sorry for the triple post someone delete the others you have to love it when your computer messes up. lol

It is all in the interpretation...lol

I'm glad you passed Jdw..Good Luck!!!

As for me, I won't be going anywhere any time soon....I bombed the test so bad that I don't even want to take it again. Like i studied so hard, and the test was easy and yet i failed horrible.

Total Bummer Bella...bounce back and take it again do not let it stop you...it is just a test!

Bella,

Don't say that... I know how disheartening it can be but pull yourself up, dust yourself off and try again. It may have just been a case of the nerves and you interpretted every question backwards. Don't ever give up on something you really want. Try again, you'll do better on the 2nd try. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't do so well, but don't stop trying!
