32 is the lowest AFQT allowed to enlist without a very rare exception to policy waiver, and even then it will require you to be a High School graduate (no GED).

However, which jobs you're eligible...

As others have mentioned, are you meeting with the Sergeant Major of your RS, or with the SNCOIC of your RSS? Big difference there.

At my RS, the Sergeant Major likes to meet with poolees who are...

They're in for a real treat in Recruit Training, then! :evilgrin:

I'm sure the Drill Instructors will take extra special care of them, but if they want it bad enough, who knows? They might just...

Although it is correct that technically speaking you do not "pass" or "fail" the test, the same could be said of the ASVAB. It isn't a pass/fail test, you are issued a score. The score only means...

Right, I work at 1600 so I can't make it to the Mon-Thur PT sessions, which would otherwise be mandatory for me since I'm shipping soon. This is considered an excusable absence.

However, I am...

I had a full reply typed out and accidentally lost it when I hit the wrong key. I'm re-typing it into a text editor this time so I can copy+paste when I'm done. Learning has occurred.

My RSS...

Out of respect, unless I was informed otherwise I would always refer to a Gunnery Sergeant by their full rank.

Recruiters who are Gunnery Sergeants may choose to allow their poolees to refer to...

I was moved too, but in my case it was due to medical documents that MEPS finally got yesterday (well, they got them earlier and lost them, or something... I don't even know anymore).

It is the hardest test I have ever taken. Why? It's not a knowledge-based test, there isn't material that you can commit to memory and regurgitate in the test room to achieve a perfect score. This...

That is my current PADD, but due to a changing of the guard at my RSS it is unknown at this time whether or not all the paperwork will be approved in time to make that date.

If I get delayed, it's...

I imagine the biggest challenge for me will be running. More concerned with endurance than speed, but in the end I'm sure it'll all work out. I'm not going to quit, and they're not going to quit on...

Welcome back, Marine!

Good luck at DLI, let me know how that goes when you get there!

Ah, right you are.

I still had the site up on my work computer from yesterday and neglected to refresh. :scared:

The ASVAB is a standardized test; taking standardized tests is a skill that can be learned, regardless of the subject matter covered, because they are generally designed in a standard (see what I did...

Here's how it works for Active Duty:

Pick the UH program code if it's available.

If you make it and earn the title, you'll go to Infantry Training Battalion at SOI...

Thank you for that advice as well Staff Sergeant.

As an update, I saw the doctor and he referred me to physical therapy.

Thank you Sergeant, I figured my situation may be similar to the poolee with the neck problem, but it never hurts to ask.

I'm going to keep trying to get ahold of my Doc and see if he can fix me...

Good afternoon Marines,

My RSS is currently under inspection, so poolees are on order to not contact their recruiters if at all avoidable. My doctor's office isn't responding either after 50...

Jokingly speaking though, if he went through twice he'd have 6 months TIS. :p
