    Did you ride the short bus or what? How in the hell do you score a 46? Doesn't sound like school had any subject you favored at all aside from lunch and recess. Either try again or live with being a cook. I don't think someone with a 46 on the ASVAB needs to be toting live ammo and a weapon.

    A dead person can score higher.

    Are you related to Gomer Pyle or what?

    Olga,
    Don't let the harassment get to you. Study up and retake the test. You can do better than 46 and you will. When you do, examine all the possible MOSs that are available and select something that interests you. Don't select a job that 'sounds' cool because those are typically the ones that suck the most.

    Study....study....study! You will be fine.

    Good luck

    Cheer up, you're getting razzed for a reason. Marines like to do that. If you become a cook don't knock it. In the Corps you want to have a buddy in the Mess Hall, Supply, MT, and in Mongoose's case..Sickbay.

    Try again. Be aware of your weak points and don't get nervous. Of course that's easy for me to say.

    ZELLMAN, get in the MP's if you can. You'll get a good job when you get out.

    I thought a 46 was Army.

    Study up and try to take the ASVAB again for a higher score. See if you can qualify for a specific Occ Field, but it might be a situation where they just don't have much open for you at that particular recruiting station. Just talk with your recruiter and see if there is anything that can be done on your part to get you something other than open contract if that is what you want.
