I will start off by saying don’t try to qualify for a hard job. Go for a job you think you will like or wanna do cause you might get a MOS that al your friends get and not like it so chose What you wanna do and qualify for.

Now your ASVAB score matter but it depends on your line score. You and another soldier might score a 50 on the ASVAB but it don’t mean you qualify for the same jobs. You might score really high in one area and qualify to be an MP or lightwheel mechanic and they didn’t but they might score high to be a human resource specialist or supply specialist; so the ASVAB score matter but it depends on your line score also score!

When I was in from '74 - '77 and served in the Army Security Agency, the minimum ASVAB scores needed to qualify for the Army Security Agency was a minimum, depending on your particular MOS, of a GT score of 105, an SC score of 105, or an SL score of 105. And if that wasn't tough enough to qualify for, you also had to pass a grueling back ground check to make sure you qualified for a Top Secret Clearance. Is that difficult enough for you? By far, the highest bar set by the U.S. Army at the time. It was a branch of Military Intelligence that did all the ground work for the NSA along with the Naval Security Group and the Air Force Security Service.
