yes that is a true AFQT score. i took the practice test again today. first time i did 67 there. online test are scored different. but yes that is Category II. I want to get Category I, but he said not to worry about it that it was good enough, unless I wanted to do higher. 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.

Hell I even got in touch with my old high school band director and he said he would help me with it if he can.

He's so baiting you into being able to do the scene from Jarhead. MARINE BAND?
Sgt. Siek: I don't give out too many special treats. But this morning we have a very special treat. Private Swofford here is going to play reveille for us. Okay, Swofford, play reveille.
Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: I don't have a bugle, Staff Sergeant.
Sgt. Siek: You don't have a what?
Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: I don't have a bugle.
Sgt. Siek: Oh no. No, no. Damn, damn. You better play it with your mouth.
Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: What?
Sgt. Siek: I said play it with your God damn mouth.
Sgt. Siek: Will you shut the fuck up! There is no bugle program! You sizzle-dick motherfucker! Who do you think you are, some kind of Kenny G or some shit?
Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: No, Staff Sergeant.
Sgt. Siek: Good.

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.

man i got so fucking sick of hearing from recruiters during my senior year of HS it wasn't even funny. I was in JROTC and the Major suggested that I take the ASVAB, so I went to RAFB and scored a 95. I STILL get phone calls from recruiters occasionally. But hey that's just my personal choice. I don't want to be in the military, but I certainly do appreciate those people out there who ARE in service for giving me the choice!
Who knows?
I was definitely in shape but did have both knees operated on two years before. Out-patient arthroscopic procedures to free them of bone fragments after years of seriously abusing them. Doctors said I couldn't ever play soccer again or I'd most likely need total knee replacements before I was 30.That was right after being told I could walk on to Clemson's soccer team instead of being a junior in high school, just one more year of keeping a B average and I could go.
29 now and just started playing again less than 2 years ago with no problems...sometimes wish I had kept playing!
But then I think about it, could have played soccer and gone to school for architecture, busted my ass in school and working for 6-7+ years straight to get registered and I'd still most likely be out of a job today lol! Fail.
Now back to the regularly scheduled program.
Get ready to play the bugle in the gas chamber
Yeah, my AF recruiter is such a PITA to get in touch with, I'm about to switch recruiters.

Air Force = Easy? Take a look at the PT standards, we might not be there with the Marines but the Air Force is far from a walk in the park. I thought the same till I got in and saw some pretty hard core MF'ers in the AF, totally different view now.
But on the flip side sometimes I think I should have gone into the Marines. They seem much more disciplined and I respect that immensely.
lol thanks guys. its like i said tho on some of this shit i had to scratch my head cause i haven't used it since high school. I had to go back to my 10th grade year of advance math classes. I was like how the fuck does this shit go again........ but all in all i think i done good considering i only took the online practice test 3 times and for the first time 2 weeks ago when i start seriously debating this. but like i said the score i made is no where near good enough for me and my standards i at least want a 90. hell i want it so bad i can taste it. so this means i gotta hit the books, online books that is. the only part i have trouble with is the math section. everything else is pretty easy to me.

Im fully aware of the PT for AF. I'm also fully aware of what the AF does. The PT and basic is roughly the same for all camps.. it's what you do when you get in that determines whats easier. Fact is, Airforce stays on a base, 99% of the time. Hardly ever are they stationed in the heat, in a tent with no ammeneties. There's hardcore MF's in every outfit.. but it's safe to say that the AF is full of none hardcore MF's.

After marine core for four year more than likely i will join the Air Force. Unless I get a great offer. Then I'm in for life.

A cool job they have that is really starting to boom is Maritime Police. They are pretty much like Military Ops protecting the States water from Terrorists, Pirating, or illegal things happening on the coasts land and water. I know the Coast Gaurd does that mostly but they need more surveilance and backup on the Land/water to seek out piracy and terrorists before it happens. They train in the water: swimming above and underwater, land tactics so it's basically like a navy seal but not so highly merited. Some info on it: http://www.aprodex.com/mpi-maritime-...al-1392-l.aspx
no high merit and the same job? not a good deal imo. lol
