Damn son your going into the corp! A 45 is good enough to get any job there! ;)
Jokes aside infantry and ASVAB are two words that will never be found in the same paragraph with each other I had people in my unit that had no business with a book in their hands and others that with the proper schooling I would trust my life on their operating table. Luckily 90% of infantry work is facing the right way while pulling a trigger so you should be alright :)

PV2 J M I would not worry about the score. Your job now is to graduate from High School, and work on being in great physical shape. In Boot Camp, do the best that you can at all times. You will be challenged and it is up to you to meet these challenges. Life presents challenges and obstacles that we all need discipline and determination to overcome. In Boot Camp, having the right mental attitude is just as important as being in top physical shape.

A 45 isn't good. It will probably get you that infantry job though.

You can always retake the asvab, make sure you get 03xx on your contract. Do NOT let your recruiter talk you going to Paris Island without that on your contract, wait however long you need to for that to open up. Thats how you spend 4 years as a blue water specialist or some trash. Remember, if you're not 03 you're navy

Licking windows is also acceptable. All joking aside, once you join, you will always and forever be a part of a brother/sisterhood that civilians just don't understand. There will always be interservice jokes, but we will always cover each other's 6, doesn't matter which branch you served in. I have quite a few marine friends who are great people, I just talk slower to them. Lol. Good luck in your next phase of life!

Short answer is no, your good. Just give your best and nothing less, be a sponge, and go chow to chow, day by day.

It's enough for Infantry, but you have to be sure that's all you're going to want to do... with a score that low, odds are your GT (general technical) score isn't up high enough (minimal 110 GT score) is required if you had any dreams in your head whatsoever of eventually trying for Recon, Scout/Sniper, or MARSOC, you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. If you know for sure that your absolutely fine with 4 years of a regular infantry unit, that score should just cut it... I would personally retake the ASVAB until you do much better on it so those job opportunities could be opened up to you...some of the best Marines I've known have been completely happy running an infantry team or squad (they absolutely have what it takes to do special operations but some just aren't interested in the path as a lot of it is Reconnaissance & Surveillance which takes a special Marine with a lot of patience because sometimes you're just laying around watching which is what R&S entails.... Other guys like myself eat that shit up and all the other craziness that comes with it ... it all depends on the person. But with that current score, none of that would even be an option as you wouldn't meet the required mandatory prerequisites to even try out for Recon, Scout/Snipers or MARSOC. It's your call, but I've been there n done it and you wanna leave yourself with as many options as you can afford yourself... as a Marine, you're always going to be looking to better yourself every single day so why settle with a shitty score... shoot for a better one and study and retake ur ASVAB... all it takes is some dedication of time which you'll be doing plenty of when you sign that line and uncle sam owns your ass for 4 years... Always strive to be the best that you can be, the best Marine that you can be, and the best human being that you can be... good luck
