Congratulations—I’m sure he’ll get to choose any career wants.

My son-in-law was one of those rare 99%-ers and they offered him a nuclear engineering position or anything else he chose.

Here’s a funny for you.

My daughter, a lifetime Army Brat, was raised around military bases. When the time came for her to start dating, she had a lot of soldiers showing interest.

Once they actually asked her on a date, she had one question before she’d accept. “What was your ASVAB score?”

Under 94 and she’d tell them to ‘have a nice day’. (Daddy was MI, so she was a little biased.)

The hilarious part is that guys loved this screening process. She made a lot of true friends this way. She’s now engaged to (roll drums) an MI NCO.

Congrats.

You have a smart kid.

(My buddy and I aced it back in 78. I was already headed to a mil college and he was an ivy leaguer. The recruiters were calling us all summer!)

He scored a 97. That's the highest score I've ever even heard of.

Congratulations! I've only heard of one score higher than that ;)

He had an entire spreadsheet of various score interpretations. I don’t recall a GT but it is quite possible it was there. What is it?

Sorry, should have said congratulations, first.

I got a 91 on mine, the look on my recruiters face when I said I wanted to go into the 03xx field (Infantry) was priceless.

With such men among us, there is still hope.

General Technical. It’s one of the most important line scores for the ASVAB.
