"ASVAB: The Military wants you"

All of us have taken aptitude tests before. An aptitude test is something that tests your abilities and skills in many different areas. Maybe you're a math genius, or a kid who reads books all the time. Either way, aptitude tests base your score off of how skilled you are, rather than just pure intellect. Much like the SATs, the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a way for the military to see how well you are and would serve.

Although I personally never understood why, many people don't like the military. For some reason, there's always a hidden despise or rage against them. There are very few people out there who'd be willing to serve, and that's why many countries employ a draft upon their citizens. Anyhow, in order for the military to know what soldiers would serve better in different areas, they hand out the ASVAB test. The ASVAB test is suppose to test your abilities in a way so that they could relate them as to serving in the army. For example, if you scored high on mathematics, they'd probably try to get you a job in the army related to computers or surveillance. If you did better in the automotive, or electronics part, you'd go into a career related to mechanics. The purpose of the test is to try and tell you if you'd be good at a job you'd want to perform in the future. Either way, the military is still looking for people to join and this is this the perfect way for them to do so.

I've never hated the army, nor have I despised it in anyway. You see, by administering this tests to the young people of society, they can determine who is going to be the cream of the crop. When I took the test, there were eight sections on it. There were two on arithmetic, two on Reading, one on electronics, one on automotive, and two on gears/procedures. If you score extremely high on the ASVAB, then you'll be elidgible for a higher rank in the army right when you join. If you score extremely stupid, they get to taunt at you and call you a dumbass - then they'll make you burn the porta potty stinkholes. Either way, for the most part, the ASVABs is something you should score high on in case you join the military.

In case you were wondering, you should have taken this test during your junior year (11th grade). From what I believe, most high schools offer the test, but there are some that don't. If your school does offer it, it's usually mandatory and you'll miss class (yay).
