Is it true that prior enlisted are not allowed to retake the ASVAB?

I was enlisted 4 years in the Marines right after high school. I got out with my DD214 and went to college. I am graduating soon with a BA and wanting to enlist in the ARMY as an officer. However, the army recruiter is telling me I can not enlist as an officer because the Asvab I took in high school I received a GT of 108 (you need a 110 for officer). I want to retake my ASVAB and the recruiter is saying I CANNOT RETAKE IT because I already qualify for enlistment jobs.
I am trying to join as an officer not an enlisted again. Is this true? I really cant take the ASVAB again? Any information is appreciated.
I read online your ASVAB expires in ten years (its been exactly 10 years) and the you can retake it. I just want to have enough information before I take a decision.

Hell, find a different recruiter to get a second opinion. I've been in for 20 years (Total Service) and I've taken that thing 4 times. Once when I first came in back in '93, then again in '96 when I went Active Duty, then again in '98 when I wanted to switch back to Medic (it was my secondary MOS and was told my GT wasn't high enough to reclass BACK to an MOS I already held), and again in '08 when I came back in after a 5.5 year break.

I retook my ASVAB when I was on active duty in Germany to raise my score over 110. SO I know that at one point you could retest.

You can absolutely retake your ASVAB. I have sent soldiers to go and retake it over. That is absolutely false.

In Service and new Accessions are totally different. AR 601-210 prohibits retesting just to raise score.

SFC (Join to see) makes sense even prior service. Because when I switched over they asked if I wanted to retake the test I said no maybe because I was still in the IRR.?
