The max for the ASVAB is above 140. 150 makes sense, but I don't know exactly how high it goes. Though the individual scores like CL, CO, EL, FA, GM, MM, etc. go above 150 (I don't know why).

Hope this helps, somehow..

Good Job!

I graduated from Bravo 1/329 probably the cycle before you. Which platoon were you in and who were your drill sergeants?

I know you probably won't be able to respond for a while but hang in there and you will realize how well B co prepared you for what is coming.

Good Luck,
Greg

I looked at these a while ago. Eventually I came across that article that Phulano posted above and I started to get dissillusioned by all the big buzz words and the complete lack of relevant information. Their data set appears to consist of a single shot and reported word of mouth. So I kept looking...

I don't have a whole lot of experience but for the last couple months I have been fighting blisters of all kinds. For the small ones on the backs of my heels and on the tops of my feet I use Band-Aid Blisters. You can get them at wal-mart. They are the only thing I have found that will actually stay...

There is another option... I enlisted after I graduated college, and with a mountain of student loan debt. The Army has a loan repayment program you can opt into in lieu of the GI bill. They will repay stafford loans and the like, though private loans are not covered by the program. For me this mean...

Update

Well, since my last post I have completed OSUT and ABN, and am in hold awaiting my second SOPC class (I just went through class 0705, but was weak on land nav). I was offered an accepted an 18x contract in basic and accepted for several reasons. Mostly because the 18x pipeline is absolutely jam pack...

Introduction

Hello All, My name is Greg, I am a 23 year old college grad (Applied Math) who just took the plunge and enlisted w/ option 40. I am leaving for basic on Feb. 3, 2005.
