Can ASVAB scores be waived for 25D?

I ask because I really don't want to have to take the ASVAB again. I will if I have to but I work in cybersecurity as a SOC Analyst where I do all the functions of a 25D, have a BS in Cybersecurity, and have plenty of certs. (A+, Net+, Sec+, CySA+, PenTest+, SSCP)

Think this is something that Branch will be willing to waive?
- National Guardsmen
- E6 with 10 years TIS and 3 years TIG

EDIT: I should be clear that it's not so much that I'm trying to get out of the test but more I am trying to get to 25D school before I begin my master's in Q2 of 2022.

SFC Private RallyPoint Member can guide you in the right direction, but from what I have heard, no, GT is not waiverable for 25D.

Pretty sure you would have to re-take the ASVAB before asking for a waiver.

The waiver isn't for getting out of the test, it's a waiver for a score you cannot attain.

It's an application MOS so they school decides if you'll get the waiver.

As for your plan, the school is 14 weeks and it's very unlikely there is an open class seat that you can be slotted on before your desired date in 2022

Speak to your retention NCO or find the governing regulation and read it yourself.
