I told him I do and i feel disappointed, but a lot of the math I haven't used since I was in in like 9th and 10th grad so i don't remember it all. They were also interested in my musical talent since I am pretty good at percussion. I have been playing drums since i was old enough to pick up sticks and beat on something. Played all thru middle school and high school. I was in concert, symphonic, jazz, and marching band. I'm trying to find a piano or keyboard that i can use to refresh my memory on all 13 scales and harmonic scales. I remember most but I need a refreshment on all to make sure I still got it. There was another officer in the room and was like you know your stuff. He was like I'll tell you what get your stuff took care off then let me know and I'll let you audition in front of me and if I think your good enough I'll get you a auditioned for the Marine Band. He's like you can play all percussion right? I was like you got it. I need refreshing on something things, but I do remember all the basics.
Looks like Marines require a 50 for musicians so you're in the clear.

I got a AFQT score of 97 on the Form 18/19 ASVAB in 1998. 2 people scored higher and the one that made a perfect 99 graduated from Georgia Tech and is now a computer programmer for AirTran. Imagine that lol! The 97 qualified me for 'basic underwater demolition' yet the Navy wasn't interested in me being a SEAL. They just wanted to put me on a sub, I said no SEAL then no signature. Simple as that. I refused to sign my life away if they weren't going to offer me a chance to be a SEAL. If I don't make it through BUD/S then that's my fault. I should have pursued it in a different direction since they weren't interested in offering it to me.

The ASVAB scoring changed in '04 though probably making what I made then in the lower 90's since. I've been tempted to go take it for shits & giggles.
