ASVAB
Are you considering a career in the military?
Did you know that the ASVAB is an essential part of enlistment?
According to goarmy.com, “The ASVAB is a series of tests developed by the Department of Defense and is used by the U.S. Army to determine whether you have the mental aptitude to enlist. The ASVAB also helps determine which Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) you qualify for.”
