Has anyone heard of having to take the ASVAB again to go from Army to Air Force?

It's not because of the Air Force thing, it's because you were out too long. I had to do the same. I left left and joined the guard after a three year break. But when I tried to transfer back to active duty I had to retake the ASVAB.

This is entirely true. I had no break in Service and had to take the ASVAB again going from Army to AF.

Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Well, I had to retake the ASVAB from when I was actively in the Reserves and going Active Duty. Then I took it again after having been out for 5.5 yrs when I was coming back in.

I remember in the early 80’s where troops with a low score were required to retest or be separated.

BS I was out 23 years and was asked if I would take it again to speed up the process because recruiter said it was going to take him longer to get my old scores but I did not have to retake. Going from Air Force to Army, as it turned out my scores improved.

I believe the asvab test scores are o my good for 2 years

Current Army recruiter- I've seen a dozen prior service people join the Army and we never have them take the ASVAB again. Once you join the military, your scores remain there forever. The only reason you would need to retake the test is if your scores suck, or you simply require higher scores for the jobs available to PS people.

I always wondered how my ASVAB scores changed over time, even though I had not retaken the test. I knew some people who would retake it when trying to change career fields.

I had a year and a few months break from my original contract and decided to come back in to the same unit, they had me take the ASVAB again, easier the second time it was all computer stuff.
