My son just took the ASVAB today and scored a 96. Apparently did not do well on mechanical but did well otherwise.
I don't know how these things are scored. Is 96 a good score? Will this help his chances of getting in to Army OCS, which is his ultimate goal?
Thank you!

Oh, and if anyone is wondering, he got a 132 for GT score. Apparently that is important?

A GT score of 110 will get you almost any MOS in the Army. If your son's recruiter can't get him the position he wants, tell him to hold out until they can. He's a commodity.
That ASVAB score of 96 is out of 99, so he can pick what he wants, within reason.

SrA John Monette - haha aint that a lie....I have friends who recently joined the AF...from what I understand mostly its upon the needs of the AF, unless it happens your passion is mechanics which there is a lot...otherwise you'd have to wait, but recruiters often try to pressure recruits to do it asap so they get their quota. Army is mainly based on your score, but also depends on whats available, lots of people need something NOW and go ahead with something they dislike, few will wait (although they will say theres deadlines...so you have to do it again)

Awesome, my daughter recently commissioned. She had a BS in Business Administration with a 3.2 GPA. She started the process last September. Took a PT test and got a 247, got her Letters of Recommendation and went to MEPS. Went to basic training in February and completed OCS in August and is currently in BOLC. She is doing well and her last 3 PT tests have been 300+. It was quite a simple process for her and her Recruiter did his part in keeping the process moving. This is a good time to apply as they are trying to grow the force.
