With your score you can chose many rates in the Navy.
If you want engineering, try for the nuclear field. The field is in high demand, offering huge enlistment and re-enlistment bonuses and advancement is fast.
If you want to work in intelligence, try for the crypto-technician or intelligence specialist. Both rates are open to someone with your ASVAB score. The IS rating should help if you chose to apply to either the CIA or FBI, though you might need a college degree (preferrably an MA) for the CIA.

I was going to suggest anything civilian, but I read further and it looks like you are going into the Navy.
Are you going OCS or Academy? I would suggest intelligence work in the Navy or use the fields that the ASVAB suggested. You may want to check out the CIA and FBI websites to see what the hiring requirements are and fields that are in demand. Good Luck!

Intelligence/cryptologic or law enforcement communities. I started my career in crypto, work in LE now. Engineering in the navy is about a machines not construction. Are you going to OCS or enlisting. Stay away form physical security/law enforcement/anti terrorism officers if going to OCS. Those areas call for alot of experience in the job field early on, most are Mustangs (prior enlisted) in that community. Intel officers have much more time to get comfortable in their field before they are tasked with large burdens.

I would go with what a few others have said , CT or IS.
With that ASVAB score you'll get to choose what ever Rating you would like, unless of course there are other factors that could hold you back.
I scored around a 95 ( was almost 20 years ago I don't remember exactly) But because of color blindness I ended up a Boiler Tech..

Anything in the aviation field. Lots of options in a later career.
FBI, Secret Service, CIA careers are not as exciting as you may think. Imagine putting on your best suit and standing in your back yard all day and hoping that nothing happens.

definite, the ASVAB is timed and you're able to be able to't use a calculator. The attempt isn't too undesirable yet that relies upon on your attempt taking skills and wide-spread awareness of countless matters. i desire to advise getting considered one of those prep books it could make a huge distinction in how nicely you do on the grounds which you would be attentive to precisely what to assume on the attempt. the better your score, the greater possibilities you're starting to be and the greater appropriate jobs you are able to qualify for thus do no longer take the attempt gently purely by way of fact some people say it relatively is uncomplicated. there's a huge distinction between doing ok and doing fairly nicely. The prep/learn e book gets you used to the timing of the attempt so which you be attentive to the way long to spend on each and every question and get used to the time stress you would be decrease than. they supply you each and every thing you're able to be able to desire to be attentive to to do nicely. good success!
