ASVAB for dummies book. I used it when i first enlisted as i sucked at math.

Also, word knowledge is important as it is a big chunk of your score so do flash cards. Lots of flash cards.

I think it goes for 25$ maybe.

AFQT score of 50. I am assuming you are going Airforce?

When i first took it i honestly thought i was going to fail horribly. I ended up with a 81 so don't doubt yourself bud.

No I'm trying out for the Army but I need all of that to get an option 40 contract (Airborne and Rasp) if ones available at that the time and 11x as my mos

I enlisted as 11B and hated it. I went about 75% of my contract before being deployed. In that time i literally did nothing besides waste thousands of rounds of ammunition because one round in the batch had rust on it or was bad. It gets dumb after a while.

I would suggest something better where you can have a trait once you get out such as 15W or 15U (look them up)

EDIT: Don't enlist Infantry expecting to be deployed as soon as you are posted. It doesn't work like that. The conflict overseas is winding down which means deployment is getting lower and lower and you'll end up mowing lawns half the time(i had to do that from time to time.)

I was also looking at the marines as a 0321 (Reconnaissance) but just not sure if I should keep after my goal as a 75th ranger or recon marine.

I won't say which branch is better because it always leads to a dumb argument but if you want better benefits and gear right off the line, i'd go Army.

Being a Ranger is tough and not only that. You need to be chosen for it so don't enlist expecting that either because you may never get it.

Listen to me when i say this. Do something with a trait you can learn.

Infantry has one trait. Killing people. The only jobs outside of the service you can get besides working at Target or a low end job that hires anyone is either as a police officer(like i did) or get a degree and join the FBI. Some of my friends did that but it was hard as shit.

I understand and I'm not trying to make an argument over the branches. I've been working hard on my physical preparation too and rasp has always been my goal. And I know infantry isn't always the best field too.

It's your career and you do whatever makes you happy. In the end, it's what you want to do. I can just give advice.

Also, i suggest starting to get up at 4am every day and being in bed by 9 and also going running everyday as well.

I ran all the time before i joined and never got my sleep schedule on check and had the hardest first week. You have no idea. So start getting a sleep schedule set up.

Thank you man and thanks for your service too. I've been using the ASVAB for dummies book and I first scored a 43 back in December but I'm retaking it. I hope all goes as planned for me this time around I don't want to let myself and my recruiter down.
