Can I take the asvab for the air force sometime this year? I'm a junior in high school and im 17 years young

Answer 1

Most schools offer the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) for students in the Junior year. This is a good test that will assist you in your endeavors, whether they be the military or civilian. The test will show you where your apptitudes lay, assisting you in making a career choice.

If your school does not offer the test, the recruiters in your area will schedule you for the test. Since you are allowed to enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) at age 17, with parents permission, and scheduled to graduate, you will be able to sign up if you score well enough on the ASVAB and pass the medical examination.

Please do yourself the favor and check out ALL the branches. See which one is best for you, and which will guarantee, in writing, the most. Take your parents to meet the recruiters.

Thanks for thinking of the military, and good luck

Answer 2

The asvab should be taken sometime during your junior or senior year. To enlist you need to be a senior (or in the summer between your junior and senior year), this is because you can only be in the dep (delayed entry program) for a year. If you miss the asvab at school, it is also offered out side of school. good luck.

Answer 3

yes you can take the asvab and due the physical with a parents consent. you can dep in at 17...go to basic during the summer, finish school, then go to AIT then report your duty station.

Answer 4

if you are as keen as you sound then get the ASVAB prep book from the library OR buy it...........and start to practice now now now, in the local schools they actually organise the test and you sit it at school.......often with NOT much notice BUT the score that you get will stay in effect for 2 years.....so you want o do the best you can the ONE time you get to take it.

Answer 5

typically your school will have you take it this year and next year.
you will start to recieve phone calls from all the branches asking you to pre-join the military. do your research if you plan to go into the military so you know what branch you want to go into.
i suggest the air force.

Answer 6

at 17 you should be able to take the test.. and sign up for DEP.. delayed entry program, you can be delayed entry for up to a year.. it also counts towards one year of your inactive reserve time.. all military enlistments are for a term of 8 years....ie. if you sign up for 4 years of active duty you also have 4 years of inactive reserves

Answer 7

Go talk to a recruiter about taking it, they'll be able to give you all the information you need.

Answer 8

Yes you can
