Ace The ASVAB
If you’re serious about joining the National Guard, then get serious about the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). The ASVAB is a multi-aptitude test which is given nationwide, and maintained by the Department of Defense. The test includes sections on general science, automotive information, mechanical comprehension, electronics information, and assembling objects. But these scores are only used to determine which jobs a recruit might be good at once he or she enters the military. The ASVAB also includes two math sections and two reading sections. If a recruit can’t pass the math and reading sections, he or she won’t be eligible to enlist.
