Hi, I just took the ASTB for the Marines yesterday, and I scored a 6/7/7. I also took the ASVAB a few months ago and scored a 90, which as I understand, qualified me for just about any job I want to try for.
I'm just kind of curious about my situation...
My OSO said I did great and I passed. My dad however thinks I should try to improve my ASTB score to make myself more appealing to the Marines aviation program.
Now, normaly, a score below 90 on something this important would drive me nuts and I would retake it, but the forum I just read said that although the NAVY looks at the scores to determine what you job you will get, the Marines just use it as a pass/fail screening test.
Is this true? or am I being misled? Should I retake it?
Also, after my dad told me what he thought, I asked my OSO and he said that the score doesnt matter, just as long as you passed. Is my OSO just feeding me bull?
